Bitcoin Erupts As Short Positions Are Wiped Out

So breaking 4,200 was it ? That's all we needed ?
5,500 at the end of the week ?



"Traders reacted to the news with cautious optimism. A few pundits suggested that the movement was led by bots, mistaking April Fool’s articles for real market sentiment.

In particular, Finance Magnates published a prank announcement that the SEC had approved Bitcoin ETFs, an issue which has sparked strong price reactions in the past. Some think this explains why Bitcoin seems to be leading the charge.

But the market move came sixteen hours after the FM story was published. If April Fool’s articles had had any discernible effect on the market, as some have said, algorithmic traders would have reacted far faster to the news. It would have been a matter of minutes, not a whole day.

George Harrap, the co-founder and CEO of Bitspark, believes it was probably a “natural move,” rather than a knee-jerk reaction by bots. Noting that Bitcoin is currently trading for $200 more on BitMEX than on conventional exchanges, Harrap suggests the movement was led by leveraged traders.

“This rules out any moves by local fiat exchanges or institutional influence,” Harrap wrote in an email. “It’s more of a natural move as compared with the price movements in 2018 where it seemed that too much was sold off.”
...
David Thomas, director of the crypto-brokerage firm GlobalBlock, argues that the price gained momentum due to technical trading. $4,200 was a “key level” for Bitcoin, he explained, one which it had been unable to break this year.

Short traders identified this level, and calibrated their positions to exit at that price.  When bitcoin broke past this morning, it triggered all the stops on short positions, removing resistance. This, Thomas believes, “exacerbated the move higher,” allowing Bitcoin to suddenly surge up to $4,800 within a relatively short space of time.
...
Thomas said some bullish traders are already predicting BTC at $5,500 as early as this coming week."

There are more and more rumours in Spain about a departure of Raphael Varane from Real madrid. Zidane wants to keep him but it seems that the player wants to go.
Florentino Perez could replace him with Atletico's Jose Gimenez.

We went from 9 Billions to 16 in volume. And it doesn't seem to be over yet.
I feel a bit unlucky though as I was gonna invest a bit of cash today. I think I will anyway. 

I really enjoyed the whole event which had some nice upsets.
Gaethje vs. Barboza was as expected with both fighters giving it all right from the start. Gaethje deserved this one, he touched his opponent a couple of times before knocking him down. Very spectacular !
Hermansson was impressive too, showing he's a complete fighter.
I also liked seeing Craig win with his triangle choke after being dominated the whole fight and taking this one with less than 40 seconds left.
Emmett's k.o. over Johnson was impressive too.
All and all, a very fun night.

WTF happened last night ?
Fuck, I'm torn. I've been waiting for this for a looong time but... I was also going to buy today !
What to do, what to do...
