But from my standpoint, why care where it goes today, and how/why, if we already know it's on its path to 6 digits?
Because 6 digits isn't guaranteed. Building and maintaining a bullish structure strengthens the fundamentals-based argument for BTC investment. Stock to flow, Metcalfe's law, network effect and all that are great, but bullish trends and Wyckoff structures really bring it all together.
With BTC back in the $6Ks, the entire bull trend from last December is now in question. Hats off to Masterluc on this one.......
Looks like a full scale bear market now. If there is a bounce up to 6.5k, and it fails, then new lows (sub 3k) are possible this year. Already down to 4.8k.
Another low probability scenario is that the whole BTC project is failing, but lets not go there !
Anyway, the halving effect will not be as anticipated this time.
