My theory on this:
Bitcoin did a number of "10k drops in a day" last year when the whole inflation thing went bananas. Dropped from 50 to 40, then 40 to 30, then 30 to 20, all in very sharp drops. It was annoying to watch, you'd see it flounder at 40, drop to 39k, recover a bit, then plunge to 30. Wash, rinse, repeat.
The final drop from 20-15k was FTX related, but I guess people just couldn't drop it 50% in value at a shot. So we dumped 25%, sat at 15k through the end of the year, then up a bit to 16, then back down. Only thing missing was yet another drop to 10k.
Finally an inflation report comes out that basically says the inflation last year WAS due to supply shocks caused by a 2+ year lockdown and general stupidity and was NOT some sort of systemic thing that would be around forever. Which means all this economic DOOM was basically bullshit. Couple that with the US job markets being... fine (sure the froth is being fired from dot.coms, but even those chuckleheads are finding jobs quickly) and things may. not. be. that. bad....
And low and behold for the first time in a long while, bitcoin actually went above the level of one of the one-day drops. We went back above 20k. Haven't done that since the drops from 50k we'd recover a bit, then drop another 10k to the "new normal". Finally we have gone back up the "normal" track.
So if the economy really *isn't* fucked and things *are* ok overall then we should start seeing 10k jumps in a day, then some selling, then another 10k jump. We shall see.
TLDR: Maybe things aren't fucked, and we have been sold a bill of goods called DOOM!!!!!
Super TLDR:
