1  Economy / Trading Discussion / Volatility determined by percentage of traders vs hodlers? on: November 15, 2020, 06:18:04 PM
Hi,

I saw a statistic online, that currently lists the percentage of hodler of bitcoin (holding 1+ years) vs number of traders who hold btc 1 month or less. Currently there are 64.99% hodlers of bitcoin vs %35.01 of traders. My question is, does an increase in percentage of traders increase the magnitude of price swings? If say the percentage of hodlers of bitcoin stabilizes in the future to 90%, will the magnitude of short term price swings also decrease? In other words does volatility decrease as percentage of hodlers increases? Is that why "bluechip stocks" are less volatile? because a large percentage of the investors are holding?
2  Economy / Trading Discussion / Theory of price support levels on: November 15, 2020, 01:43:46 AM
Hi,

I came across an article in Coin Telegraph today mentioning a potential support level for BTC.
Is there any theory of psychology or trading theories that explain support levels besides technical analysis? Any resources that I can look into to understand it better?

See the quote from the article below:

In the near term, based on market orders and on-chain levels, the analysts said that the $15,170 area would likely emerge as the new support area. The firm found that 860,000 addresses bought 465,000 BTC near that level, which would mark it as critical support

3  Bitcoin / Mining support / How the s19 PSU works on: October 29, 2020, 01:53:02 AM
I'm new to bitcoin mining. I'm trying to understand the role of the PSU. My understanding is that there's a 15-20 amp current coming in from a 120V outlet and the role of the PSU is to increase the voltage to 240V. So there would be 15A * 120V = 1800 watts being drawn into the PSU and the output from the PSU would be 15A * 240V = 3600 watts which would give the s19 miner the appropriate wattage. Is my understanding correct? Does that mean the s19 PSU can be plugged into a 120V standard outlet?
