What I wanna know is what the hell is the catalyst for the selloff tonight? I wasn't able to find it.
Bitcoin usually sells off ahead of the FOMC meeting, look up all the other FOMC going back to 2022
I sold my mstr calls near the high last week corresponding to ~71k/btc, which has been the major resistance level on this btc trading range
, holding cash waiting for taxes, earning 5% apy, I do have a tiny mstr call options position for next year, but not a risk to tax obligations
Easy trade, no stress
Bitcoins are in the wallet, waiting for 300K-1M/btc to sell a few, easy trade no stress
Maybe you should ask John. If what he said was correct, that ETF is beneficial for BTC (remember?), we should be trading at $100K already
Thanks for bringing me in, mate. I was trying to stay away, I logged in earlier but did not post only clicked likes...
ETF's are 100% beneficial to btc, anyone who thinks otherwise does not understand markets, key word liquidity
No, $100k before eoy, or I leave ET for good
Clearly, it doesn't add up. And although I can't give you any definitive answer, my "hunch" is that it's tied to BlackRock, be it directly or indirectly. They have the financial clout to move the market that nobody else has and, not to mention, political ties to make what's impossible possible. That's my worthless 2-cents. But enough with conspiracy theory. Now back to trading.
Blackrock is the biggest holder public company of bitcoins through IBIT , bigger than Fidelity, GBTC or MSTR, and yet, the $ value of $20B is probably less than Blackrocks Travel and Expense budget (maybe plus petty cash, although I doubt it)
Blackrock ain't risking their reputation, legal problems, and bitcoin business by not owning bitcoins as required by the SEC disclosure
The price manipulators are the bitcoin whales and also the US companies traders are able to play price manipulation games, take from that who those companies are
Bitcoin whales have played price manipulation games for over a decade all discussed on Reddit, don't believe me ask the expert and one of the earliest ET to Bitcoin Pekelo
Arthur Hayes the founder of Bitmex and inventor of perpetual futures and his whale buddies were hated by the Bitcoin hodlers their indictment was celebrated (not by me, I'm too insignificant to care about matters way higher than my paygrade)

Nowadays we got PVP bitcoin whales and fiat-whales trading to liquidate traders for maximum pain
No thanks, I stopped trading months ago in that bi-polar female market, that's too much headache (heartache)
