Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[dragonvslinux]

30-day volatility reaches new 18-month low of 1.14%, as previously anticipated it can now briefly drop below 1% before a big move in either direction. Worth remembering that last time volatility dropped below 1% in November 2018 it lasted one day before a 50% move within a few weeks. Given the lack of return of volume & volitility in previous weeks as previously expected, price is now ready to make a big move in the coming days imo, as opposed to the coming weeks. Don't get caught with your pants down:



Unsurprisingly price action supports this theory of an impending increase of volatility as btc sits at the end of conflicting bullish & bearish patterns:



Currently remaining neutral until confirmation, while having a slightly bearish bias.

I just hope that it won't ever be necessary to add WO next to BCH & BSV:

Good afternoon WO!
A boring observation of $9,166

I just hope that it won't ever be necessary to add WO next to BCH & BSV

Who give a F**K to shitcoin? 

Are you saying that Bitcoin finally is stable. 😜

[JimboToronto]

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Continuing with a mind-numbing lack of price movement... currently $9180USD/$12452CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

At least it's not going down. We need some real upward movement to wake this place up. Too much boring negativity.

C'mon Bitcoin. Rise and shine.

You didn't get me, but it's OK... Nobody gives a fuck about shitcoins, but we do give a fuck about WO...

All good, keep HoDLing and in a few months' time the thread will be flooded with Carolina memes, I'm sure of it.

Bitcoin trading in such a tight range for so long must be a real PIA for the traders.

I see many posts predicting a dramatic breakout to the upside and I blame the S2F model for the groupthink. Bitcoin always seems to find a way to surprise everyone and cause maximum carnage. Things do look bullish, maybe the time isn't right? Who knows.

Your phraseology here, is quite strange.  Do you believe the S2F model is misleading?  If it has a lot of good ideas then why be hating on it heater?  Who fucking cares if a lot of people believe it?  And, really, if you walked down the street and you asked people if they heard about bitcoin, and then once you got a positive answer, then you lead them down the path of telling you about S2F model, how many folks are really going to understand what the fuck is stock to flow out of that already low group that actually understands what the fuck is bitcoin?

By the way, when you are walking down Random street, there are going to be a lot of folks who say that they heard the word bitcoin, but there are likely only going to be a handful of them that actually can tell you what bitcoin is from a kind of understandable and meaningful perspective and even fewer who have taken the next step of actually acquiring some bitcoin and still hold it (or buy it on a regular basis).

Anyhow, I've been reading this thread for almost 7 years. 7 years! People come and go. We have had (and still have) our fair share of trolls, spammers, shit coiners, and arseholes. I really wish they'd all just f-off, but instead, I block them until they drop-off. Joffe and roach come to mind....

Every now and then we get a few newbies who are intelligent, thoughtful, and articulate - they're the people that keep it interesting in here. It's sad when they leave but life goes on.

For sure.. welcome newbies.. and yes, some of us regulars can be a bit too much to handle sometimes in terms of our repetition of ideas or our imposition of ideas, and it is really nice to get a feisty newbie, as long as they are open to bitcoin ideas and not pumping misleading talking points..   yet frequently, if they are actual people, then it can be quite good to bat around some ideas, even though some of us do tend to gravitate towards certain topics... sorry to bore you peeps with some of my repetition.  

Bob - thanks for your posts and know you will be missed. I'm playing a long game and will be hanging around a bit more.

The old flaming Bob is merely a memory.. and of course, some of us have quoted some of his posts along the way, and hopefully he can  recover out of his seemingly immature bridge-burning status - and like many members suggested, already, time away from the thread might be one of the better ways of transitioning into something that is more healthy, even though he still seems to want to engage and cannot even be saved from himself.. which is probably not good for himself, but who needs armchair psychology here, anyhow?  .. I have probably said too much, already.. it is not like some of us, including yours truly, is going to be nice to someone who has been employing some of his recent levels of drama...  

By the way Heater, it would be nice if you posted more frequently.  I did a quick back of the napkin calculation to see that on average you have posted about once per week.... Up your posting game, here!!!!!!!

I agree that this is probable, but the question arises..when will it stop? Never? Are we at a verge of basic income and MMT?
Too much resistance to those ideas, so it is unlikely to happen. However, passing every 6 mo a 2-3 trillion bill does not seem likely either.
At the moment, it is clearly gold and high beta stocks that benefit the most. Bitcoin is not in play and I wonder why. maybe because it was in a deep correction for too long and lost its appeal with the fast money. It could be temporary, though. At least, this is my hope, but the whole apple-cart is upside down.

If the trend described below is true, then we would have a deflationary impulse as well:
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/19/wage-cuts-economy-crisis-368508

Basically stock market speculators (in the US) have a free ride. The market goes up they win, the market goes down the Fed and congress put more money into it so it goes up again. They can't lose. With BTC, you can lose.

That is until they don’t, it is true that what you describe has been the norm during the last decades but at some point it will be impossible to maintain the system as it is and even those that believed they could privatize profits and socialize losses will find out this cannot last forever.

I really think the current pandemic has accelerated this process and while I don't wish to see such a huge crisis in my lifetime I’m convinced this is inevitable and taking precautions for that day is the only thing I can do, and as you may guess holding some bitcoin is part of my preparations, and while some may complain about the sideways movement of bitcoin this is great for anyone looking to increase their stash.

BTC/USDT 4H


The previous analyse in 14th July is still valid. But, in order to update the analyze the explain it better there are two possible scenarios:
1. Breaking the downward trend line, resistance area on 9200-9250 and moving toward 9400. But, here you should know the 9400 resistance is important resistance, I expect higher prices as 9700-9950 after breaking this resistance area in a sharp movement.

2. Loss of support area 9020-9060 and trend line, here we expect the price to move lower to 8600-8700 or even 8100. In this case, if the price get enough support under 9020-9060 and closes a few candles under this area and If it does not stabilize below area there is still a possibility for the price to move toward 9400.

According to my personal strategy and weakly timeframe , I believe is the second scenario and It is possible to lose this support area at any time.

Here it is my next BTC/USDT analyze in 4 hours timeframe on my thread. It's more the same as my last technical analyze and we are still on a price compression situation, waiting for market to make decision and break one side.

Me neither, nice to see price is on track though, even if it over-estimated the 2018/2019 drop to $3,1K. It's nonetheless similar to my long-term projections

Man, i'm so tired, i read "even mice are dehydrating...".

Bitcoin price looks like evening out. I have a feeling that the next significant move will set the direction for the remaining year.
Why daytrade this small range? Resistance and support levels don't promise high yieds.
