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

[dogebearman]

When I shorted ETH last week at 1652.04 I did it as a consequence of BTC failing to break the 200MA resistance.
I was expecting BTC to confirm the technical double bottom of June 18th and November 09th one last time.
Now all this wind of news and fud is catching my sails, still I believe the bottom is in technically - just needs one more confirmation.
The only thing that has changed is that we are moving there faster now.

The Meta Quest 2 VR looked good but I must admit I got quite bored with VR on a cheap Oculus Go after 4-6 months and that was with the best quality VR Porn available to mankind. I doubt ANYTHING else would want me to put on a headset on a more regular basis.
Anyone curious should try it but again it's just not going to be lifestyle changing at all I would say.

IMO, VR and VR games are the most over-hyped "next big thing" going today. (well, next to folding screen smartphones anyway)

I imagine that a lot of people get FOMO'ed into buying the expensive VR gear, setting it up, play a few games a few times, and then after all the newness hype wears off....the gear sits gathering dust in the corner, as they go back to playing regular console or PC games again. Then eventually they sell their gear on EBay at a loss.

Yeah, I am at the 'gathering dust' phase and CBA with the selling part.

seems half of twitter is waiting for 12k-13k, I wonder if it will happen  

good luck with betting on lower BTC prices when being already 72% under the ATH

 suppose that 30% on electricity on btc miners will take place ... wouldn't it contribute to bitcoin scarcity due to some miners stop mining...

No. All mining just moves outside of the US. More money goes to the Chinese.

The current administration appears to be financially incompetent (or actually malicious) so it's hard to discount this could happen.

Wouldn't bet on that too. We could see a confirmation of the technical double bottom already at 18k.

I think crypto twitter is pretty split right now. Maybe 40% expect a rebound from around $20K, another 40% still expect $12-14K with probably around 20% undecided. I say "still expect", but in reality they previously called for $10-12K and have since increased their bearish target by about +$2K. I imagine that with Bitcoin returning to $24K they will be calling for $16-18K again (increasing by +$2K again).

If anything the bears are useful for one thing, being around $4K off the bottom each time. So based on this I'd estimate the lowest price goes is around $18K ($14K+4). Ideally it holds $19K for sake of continuing the uptrend, but this is also the bullish scenario too many are betting on, myself included. I'll look forward to $24K levels again, as I imagine another higher low around $22K ($18K+4) would be in play.

Wouldn't bet on that too. We could see a confirmation of the technical double bottom already at 18k.

This I agree is more realistic than $12-14K right now. Turning previous resistance into support with a technical double rounding bottom is still a reasonable suggestion for now.

Think I'm officially bailing on Twitter.

Don't see any further need to use it given their heavy handed moderation. Got my own private relay working last night, downloaded the Nostrid software, and was able to start using it locally and really starting to have some fun.

I was amazed at how quickly a response I posted via my private node appeared on Iris.

What a time to be alive...

Yeah very easy to setup your own relay with Umbrel.
Done the same.
We are at the dawn of the decentralisation of all things. Wrenching back control to the people through peaceful means.
Bitcoin was the Genesis of it all.
As you say very exciting times.

yeah, I'd give a turn around somewhere in the 18k's the highest probability rn.... soma^TM


BTW:
are we supposed not to get a new poll until next ATH  ??

Closed the CME "gap", not that I believe in this kind of thing being the utmost important.

Partially OT: I am still 'amazed' as of how fast things went downhill at SVB.
Wed stock at $267 and mostly flat
Thu, a gap down, then plunge with stock ending at $106.
Today-receivership, most likely a ZERO for stock holders, maybe a pittance.
Apparently , they have above 180bil of assets and close to 170bil liabilities, so maybe depositors would get close to 100%, but it would take a long time for those with more than 250K deposits.

Not many people can afford to move their mining operations out side to another country and I think this only applies to companies and not people like you and me who mine. Moving it to another country means you have to trust someone to run it for you or you have to put it in a house or location you own which is a security or cost problem that most people can not over come.
