its probably trigger orders, some huge holders put market sale at high prices when prices surged to there with a whale it triggered and also triggered other small orders so sum of all orders created big dump and this dump activated some big buy orders as a result we see this graph.

300 mln a week = 3 000 000 : 1183 = 2536 btc extra per week --> this means 8.6 % GROWTH EXTRA PER WEEK!!!! And people still saying that ETF isnt a big deal. ETF aproved = every holder with at least 5 btc is rich af.

nah , that was one big dildo and it did trigger some panic buys and then some panic sells hahaaha

i do not think the buying that started it was a misstake.  It might be the  waiting for verdict buys,   there is a big chance that ETF is being approved by default today.

Maybe the buying up wasn't a mistake but the dump down? this seems to happen every few months in bitcoin, is it bots or another whale who doesn't understand the trading platform and just market sells ?

not bad thinking there ,   i am sure the spike did trigger alot of  sell orders.  Sell orders that would have been canceled if the account holder was awake looking at the chart

I'll go with the latter for starting it, then 'mistake' for the follow up with badly programmed trading bots not being able to handle the sudden huge swing.

It was a fun rollercoaster that's for sure

We have no more than 8 hours to wait for the ETF decision. So it is better to be patient before buying.

so we are sure the SEC deadline is today and not on Monday?

There are a few scenarios possible at this point;

# Mistake
# Manipulation
# Insider trading, which will result in the price to continue its rush.

The latter scenario might be very close. I won't be surprised if someone has taken a large position into Bitcoin before it starts to explode as result of what could be an approved ETF. Insider trading is more often than not a common practice. Perhaps that the usually boring weekends will end up to be more than profitable for traders. Wink

Now that was either a big spike or my charts went haywire :-)

And now they are all being sold again.

Someone's trading bot is about to get a stern telling off I think
