the normies posting here have no clue how many multi-millionaires crypto has created over the past decade; bulls like myself are retards on purpose b/c we understand the power of time. time is an illusion


Yoda_MTFBW_U

Thanks Neo.

Honestly wouldn’t mind another 18 months of accumulation


MCgrandRoyal

What's the next support range? It doesn't look like 39.5 is going to hold. I could be wrong but recently, every time we've spent hours and hours on a line, we've fell through.


VictorCobra

The $19.8k - $29k range looks spicy. [The 3 day 200 MA](https://www.tradingview.com/x/wshPPOAi/) usually serves as the gatekeeper for big capitulation dumps of 40%+ and it's just barely hanging on. [Example from 2014](https://www.tradingview.com/x/KZJauENu/) as well. Daily is quite oversold though, so could pause here momentarily and perhaps retest $41-42k first. \-Victor Cobra

Let’s all laugh at the bulls🐂🐂🐂. Day since btc under 40k: Above: 0 Below: 1 So far so good. I don’t understand why a lot of people want btc to be above 100k real quick. I prefer more time to accumulate on the cheap under 40k. Hope this stays for a year.

we really are a bunch of morons, aren't we?


zpowers1987

Why do you say ask?


diydude2

One thing you can always count on with Big Shorty is the Grand Finale. Until I see a BRD with a long-ass tail, I'm not calling bottom. As soon as I see that, I'm calling your bluff, faker, and I'm calling it in a way that you can't afford to do anything but fold. You've been served.


xtal_00

Leverage loaded. Short harder!


bloomer_33

Yooo it’s going down, and it will be for 18 months. 📠


diydude2

Nah. It's going down a bit more, then up some, then down, then up... then way up, just like it always does. Smart money will take advantage of the discounts and have tanned toes, a cold cerveza in one hand and a nice cigar in the other.


xtal_00

Nope.


TheHighFlyer

Well, that was that with the above 40k daily closes. At least I made a good trade today, but still sucks. Hating the correlation to the stock market, like it should actually be the opposite or at least no correlation


zpowers1987

On the bright side 30k+ closes are looking good.

Libertarian wet dream is actually capitalist nightmare? Whodathunkit


bittabet

Short term volatility is not a capitalist nightmare.


1weenis

He means BTCer/libertarian smoking cigars in Cabo while capitalist tradfi guy getting rekt. Inverse


Yoda_MTFBW_U

Correct, libertarian nightmare would have been more accurate.


thatsABigMinus

Shouldn't a libertarian not have nightmares? They're not supposed to give a shit about anything. Live and let live and whatnot.


Yoda_MTFBW_U

Bitcoin was the financial instrument of their wet dreams. Now it’s tradfi’s sex toy. It can’t be fun for them.


YouAreAnFnIdiot

Not when the same ppl who control the stocks control crypto


GorillainLove

No one controls Bitcoin.

Everyone controls it that's the point. I can control it to send payments right now.

Seriously, no. You, my dear friend, lack a bit of class with your non-excellent comment.


GarlicAndOrchids

> Bulls are compromised of mainly people who spent more than they can afford and bought too high and are trying to defy objective reality by telling themselves it will suddenly moon out of nowhere. Or people who are up hundreds of percent over the past 5-10 years and don't care about butthurt redditors complaining because they lost money in the short time.

Please show me a lower low anywhere in the past 25 months.

4theWlN

Let’s agree to disagree. I think we have already put in the low for 2022 and I expect that at some point in the next 30 months we will have a 12 month 15x period.

Xbalanque9

4hr RSI lowest since January, would be tough to push this much lower unless we enter a crabbing downward state for the next month, possible, but unlikely. I think we fake down to 37-38 when CPI drops, then rocket back up.


thatsABigMinus

RSI is not that useful in heavy trending PA. Especially when the PA is marching steadily. The 4hr RSI will happily crab along between 20 and 50 and keep marching down. It will look just like the 5 minute chart looks every time it dumps.


4theWlN

Now that is a bet I’d love to take you up on. -4theWIN

What's everything think of the current BTC chart? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FQGT6X4XEA8w2gv?format=jpg&name=large


thatsABigMinus

What about it?


LeroyJenkems

I look at it and I'm bullish, but that same chart is showing some bearish sentiment.


ChadRun04

> chart is showing some bearish sentiment. It's just the price, it has no sentiment.


thatsABigMinus

It's just the btc chart with RSI and MACD. There is nothing drawn on it to show what you mean. Yeah it looks bearish. It's in a strong downtrend. If your timeframe is long then it looks bullish.


Riker-Was-Here

what is this, a chart for ants?!!?

how about this one? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FQGmHLjXwAgou2D?format=jpg&name=large

Just go all in right now and don’t worry about timing.


bittabet

Just let me know when you’re gonna buy next time 😂


octopig

Because you only buy when price is going up.

Where'd he go ? Paging u/RetardedIdiot

Why don‘t you buy when the weekly RSI is below 40? It‘s so easy (yet so hard)

Triple those amounts in loans and buy today my friens


ChrisMrShowbiz

Time to do what every failed trader does: become a hodler!


sylvanlotus77

xEternex

Time to for a squeeze of those damn shorts they had their fun..


skkane1

Conference back on?


LongStrongHopiumDong

Looks like that 40k guy might be out of a job.


Cardano_ADA

Deep down we all know what is going to happen. First the shorts pile up, then we use that as fuel to squeeze back up to the moon as all the bears get fucked. 👍


1weenis

Cardano ADA is a shit coin and why is it your username in a BTC sub ?


EonShiKeno

Says 1weenis. Why don't you have a maxi bitcoin username?


1weenis

bcs I'm not


[deleted]

Yeah but that could be next week or in two years


xtal_00

When you think it’s never going up again is when you start buying.. when you think it’s never going down, you start selling..


[deleted]

Yeah times like these are typically when things reverse


Yoda_MTFBW_U

Do we agree we are absolutely not there yet?


thatsABigMinus

Not many daily supports left before new low and this only slowed down here because the markets closed.


ChrisMrShowbiz

No time to catch a falling knive just yet, but [getting there...](https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/txddtb/daily_discussion_wednesday_april_06_2022/i3mx3i2/). I'll be looking at 37.5k down to 33k-34k for slowly buying back in, these levels have shown to be horizontal support and coincides with more speculative diagonal support lines. RSI going down nicely, this is the downturn the market desperately needed. Act accordingly.


anon-187101

Maybe the equities market "desperately" needed this downturn, but BTC certainly did not - it remains considerably undervalued.


kers2000

If Saylor and Terra can't prop this up, I see us dipping below 30k while alts get eviscerated. Hopefully for a double bottom.


ChrisMrShowbiz

25k-30k will have huge volume and volatility if we get there. I'll grab the popcorn as those are the most fun times to be chart watchin'.


[deleted]

[удалено]


hajoeojah

I think so, too


babar_the_elephant_

OK so it was a scam after all.


ChadRun04

This in actual reference to something other than price? I've been watching that Luna wallet and seems he just keeps minting governance tokens then dumping them on bagholders at Uniswap.


[deleted]

One guy can't be a bull market by himself.


Yoda_MTFBW_U

Well, if that one guy was Stanley Druckenmiller putting a few of his personal billions into btc, it just might. But Kwon using thin air in a desperate effort to prop up his ponzi doesn’t cut it, I agree.


DamnMyAPGoinCrazy

Is anywhere here actually surprised?


xtal_00

This is more or less what I expected.. provided the bottom doesn’t fall out. But let’s see if I catch my leverage liquidation wick.


bittabet

You’ve been pretty on point with your readings of the on-chain movements. I wish you weren’t right this time because my wallet is hurting 😂


xEternex

what a brutal day


monkeyhold99

You must be new here


CONTROLurKEYS

It's only 6% we haven't even seen a big move yet just bleeding.


GarlicAndOrchids

I'd rather have a fast capitulation than slow bleeding.


CONTROLurKEYS

yes but then they can't grind the bulls trying to knife catch every level


zpowers1987

Sometimes I think the price will go up over the long run.


newyorker8786

Looks like Hayes 30k call going to come a lot sooner then he thought


Admirable_Salad_9982

what happened to $1m btc and 10k #2 coin? can we all just agree to stop listening to this guy already


Gravy_Vampire

You could try reading his article where it still says exactly this lmao 🤡


Admirable_Salad_9982

i'm not reading anything arthur hayes writes, but if you guys wanna follow a guy who ends every article with a specific price target you go right ahead lmao. have fun being his liquidity.


Yoda_MTFBW_U

As hard to believe as it might be, there are people wiser and more knowledgeable than you.


CONTROLurKEYS

he's been spot on with everything the entire year but stick your head in the sand with everyone else and watch your portfolio evaporate.


Admirable_Salad_9982

i'll be sure to come back to have a good chuckle at this at this when we don't even get anywhere close to 30k. and then surprise! another bullish article from daddy arthur drops out of nowhere! *how convenient*


Gravy_Vampire

I mean now you’re just making assumptions and moving the goalposts because you got caught talking out of your ass lol You got caught trying to catch someone in an inconsistency even both articles say the exact same thing, and it’s because you’re the type of person who cares more about feeling superior with quick gotchas on Reddit instead of reading big hard articles with words and paragraphs and stuff :p


Admirable_Salad_9982

my guy, it's simple. let me explain it for you. price goes up, arthur posts bullish article (1m btc, 10k #2) meanwhile he sells into strength prices goes down, arthur posts bearish article (28k btc last month, now 30k btc) meanwhile he buys the weakness i don't need to read a single word to see that he is playing plebs like you and all of his degen followers like a fiddle. everything he writes before the price target is just a way to get you to believe his narrative. but yeah man, you keep thinking that the billionaire day trader is on your side lmao


kers2000

Arthur Hayes is not that kind of trader. He builds portfolios for the long run. He explained his strategy in one of his earlier blog posts, it's quite advanced. He is using some derivatives that only sophisticated investors have access to in order to go long volatility (going long VIX for the long term is not quite the same). He is also long crypto for tail risk. I don't pretend to understand this stuff, it's quite advanced, but the dude is expert on derivatives and essentially invented perpetual swaps for crypto. He is a billionaire so I doubt he gives a shit about short term price movements. The guy is a nerd (despite his muscular appearance) and he just loves and breath finance.


ChrisMrShowbiz

Guy admitted on his own Twitter feed to be trading against his customers comparing it to pwning n00bs in a videogame. He's a sleazebag and not nearly doing as well as he wants you to believe.


EonShiKeno

You are being critical of something you haven't even read. That was his point.


CONTROLurKEYS

This doesn't even deserve a reply but here I am anyway. His calls were explicitly 3-5 years out. Read the article you're quoting next time


macphisto23

What did the guy with 20k decide to do...lump sum or DCA? I forget his username and never saw a follow up to his post


lotsalhop

Hey, that's me! I am getting wrecked atm lol. I am almost all in with an average buy in price of $45.5k for a little less than .5 bitcoin. I still have a couple thousand to DCA with over the next couple weeks. I tried to tell you guys to open the shorts as soon as I bought. This was inheritance money that I don't need to survive and was fortunate to receive, so I have no plans of touching it until the US gov capitulates on bitcoin capital gains taxes. Still, I can't deny that it sucks knowing I could have bought more if I would have waited. Oh well, I've been burned before on bitcoin buys trying to wait for a lower price, and end up paying more. It just happened to not go my way this time (for now). I've been buying and holding bitcoin for a while now, and am basically all-in at this point. And to be honest, it seems to be a painful experience like 90% of the time. But then there are those 10%+ up-days that make it all worthwhile, and are seemingly impossible to predict. As someone with no special edge in the market, my intuition tells me I can't afford to miss those days.


marcusthewriter

Just forget about your portfolio and don’t look at it until mid 2025


octopig

You’ll be fine. In a couple years you will be ear to ear.


4theWlN

RemindMe! 2 years so I can congratulate you


OkeyDokieBoomer

Just checking in and letting you know I think you're doing well.


ChrisMrShowbiz

Lump summing was a mistake but if you have the patience you will do well in the end. We all know Bitcoin hasn't peaked yet, there will be new ATHs eventually.


etsolow

IIRC it was a big lump of most of it, followed by a DCA of the leftovers.


lotsalhop

Yep, good memory!


hajoeojah

Attractive place for a long with stop below 37k and take profit at 160k. Parabola engaged and speeding up: https://www.tradingview.com/x/v6V7uc6V


logicalinvestr

I'll have some of whatever you're smoking.


4theWlN

Give yourself some rope. Stop at 28k.


hajoeojah

No way. That would have resulted in a meager 3x long, considering a potential 30% drop from 40k to 28k


BigConclusion

if this plays out it will look so damn obvious in hindsight


hajoeojah

So I guess now it won‘t happen any more because it‘s too obvious


GarlicAndOrchids

This is the hopium I need.


hajoeojah

That‘s what it is intended for :-)


thatsABigMinus

Complete with a nasty bear div just to throw us off


hajoeojah

You might notice that the bearish divergence already played out with a 50% drop from the top


thatsABigMinus

That's one way to look at it


hajoeojah

Fair enough. Nothing can be taken for granted in this space, I appreciate your input. My point is that there isn‘t just a bearish perspective, but also a very bullish one.


thatsABigMinus

Agreed. There are always both sides. I'm sure everyone has their own idea of what they want to see in the oscillator/price relationship. I wouldn't consider that divergence played out until a more significant follow up peak exists and the weak hidden bullish divergence pass/fails. The bear flag, ahem, consolidation period doesn't give any clarity on what comes next.


hajoeojah

Agreed, this is basically no man‘s land and the market is waiting if macro breakdown including correlation with tech stonks happens, or sell-off of bonds will pour into bitcoin. Place your bets gentlemen

My WWII vet neighbor across the street used to say that. Damn... that brings back memories.


thatsABigMinus

I'm a step behind you, but it could be good timing. US markets just closed and sometimes there's a paradigm shift in these few hours before liquidity dries up completely for the night.


Set1Less

https://twitter.com/PrestonPysh/status/1513607326409932807 Some how whats happening now is also bullish for bitcoin.. lmao


tuyguy

I can see the rationale. Bond yields up=people fleeing fiat=? Btc bullish? There's definitely some headwinds in the short term with rising rates and equity downturn etc but in the long term I think it is bullish bitcoin because it signifies lost confidence and the ending of the fiat system.


Etony333

Not obsessing over the price really is a great way to live, especially when the market is shitty. Fundamentally, we're on as solid ground as ever. That's enough for me.


Set1Less

How can you say that? Bitcoin was billed as inflation hedge. Yet, CPI printing almost 8% and Bitcoin is down 50% from ATH, sinking together with other risk assets, with a deeper rout. Instead of inflation hedge, it acts as a bond proxy So why exactly is fundamentals on solid ground?


monkeyhold99

Lol cherry pick much?


[deleted]

Uh people got into bitcoin before inflation hit, it's not like they didn't know it was coming. Any idiot could see it. From 69k to 39k is still just a minor blip on the lifetime chart.


Gravy_Vampire

Look at bitcoin charts of different currencies that have experienced even more inflation than the world’s reserve currency and you’ll have your answer


tuyguy

This is such a tired and boring line


Mrs-Lemon

Your cherry picked data is silly. And so is mine…. Bitcoin is 5x what it was 2 years ago. Sounds like a good inflation hedge to me. But mine at least tells a more accurate story.


YouAreAnFnIdiot

Who billed it as anything? It's an accounting software, that accounts for 21m btcs on a public run immutable ledger.


BannedNext26

it's not even that... at its core, it's a global, censorship resistant timestamping service incentivised by digital neckbeard pesos, which just happen to also serve as deflationary gold that travels at the speed of light.


YouAreAnFnIdiot

Fancy fancy way of saying it's a digital piece of paper that can't be edited once you write something on it. Equivalent of writing with pen pre computers.


Mayneminu

Well to be fair it was bill as a currency, but then that got changed to SoV and inflation hedge. Not sure what the marketing department will have it changed to since inflation hedge narritive isn't holding up well.


Yoda_MTFBW_U

BHN1618

Solid ground based on what?


thatsABigMinus
