Remember all those wyckoff accumulation charts we saw in last year's mid year dip. It proved to be correct, I haven't seen any such analysis getting around now but things look similar. Has anybody seen any of that analysis done on this dip?

I seem to remember someone posting about it some days ago, basically saying that it looks good.

I was posting about it before when it looked like wyckoff accumulation on the 4hr chart, though unconfirmed, but this structure has now been broken with the recent drop:

Posting this again for some New Year Hopium. Recent bounce from $46K still looking like a "spring" for Wyckoff accumulation, even more so after creating new closing low on 4hr:


Based on the current price structure, it doesn't look like wyckoff to me, at least not on a line chart. On a candle chart, we'd be in Phase B at best, prior to creating a lower low:



As for current outlook, I'm personally not seeing $40K-$46K range as providing much support given the volume gap, even if a dead cat bounce could occur from here at any moment:



The $42.5K level is merely a "last line in the sand" before lower lows, similarly to how $46K acted as such after failing to find support and getting rejected by $48K MA support. The 0.236 fib retracement around $38K where volume lies and previous VPVR point of control around $33K-35K is more likely where a macro higher low would form imo, while taking more weeks to get there. Daily RSI is bearish, but not even oversold yet (like back in May) for reference sake, the Weekly RSI hasn't even turned bearish yet, as food for thought. There's plenty for room to the downside if price strength continues to weaken basically.

Ultimately price closed below the 50 Week MA again and the bears followed through, breaking both support trend-lines, as well as MA support. Doesn't look great to me anymore to put it simply. At least the on-chain data still looks good, but price structure looks pretty f**ked now. Truth is, Bitcoin has never been continually traded below the 50 Week MA within a bull market, so best to hope for in the mid-term would be further consolidation at higher levels. Still not seeing any argument for $20K-$25K levels, even if entirely possible now (70% drop from high to low), but otherwise not seeing any buyers at current prices either.

Ideally price drops hard and we get the crash over and done with as quickly as possible, somewhat regardless of how low it goes, rather than f**king around in no mans land. Just my opinion anyway.

I just don't see how they can actually raise them .. they seem to have really painted their lil selfies in a corner...

It's jawboning. Thing is lets say they raise rates, the economy will still need to be supported otherwise deflation will come in. So what they take with one hand they will give with another. And if they don't, and things crash, you watch how quickly they reverse. It would make The Flash jealous.

The Fed is the whale in control of the stonk market.

Their jawboning is literally spoofing the market to affect the behavior they want, instead of actually having to change rates.

many times i think the feds and or two or three large counties created btc as a tool to bail us out of the 2008-2009 fiat crash.

I then think Btc worked to well and now they do not quite know what to do with it.

Note the unconventional cAPITALIZATION!
Playing pickup sticks on my chart 42.5-42.8 is the next place bulls make a stand...

Ugh.  



That said, we will have a lot of support in this range if we end up in it...

This is starting to feel very similar to the 30k range now.

The imbalance between bid & ask side is getting crazy. Spot bids keep getting filled with new orders showing up, meanwhile ask side fails to repopulate in any meaningful capacity.



You have to understand that there's an active (market orders) and a passive (limit orders) flow.

The passive flow is what we see in these books. So the reason price goes down despite orderbook delta looking green that the active flow is selling.

The active flow is the dominant flow (always, naturally) and it's what guides us. But it bumps into resistance in either direction. If the opposing passive side refuses to give out and keeps offering resistance the active flow will eventually just get exhausted.

So sellers get exhausted and all the hands that want to fold already folded and they fail to break the bid side and there's not enough ammo anymore to repopulate the ask side.

At this point it's a waiting game...

Because price is sitting on top of a thick bid side and the active (sell) flow has given up. So we just kind of float around (with a slight slope downwards because of mining there's always some natural sell pressure, ranges on BTC almost always slope down) until...

until bids get impatient. Some game theory comes into play here. Eventually some asshole is gonna get impatient and pull his limit bids and set them higher. Someone else catches on and decides to pull his limits and market buys!

All of a sudden the active flow has turned into buying and the ask side is fragile because folding hands used up all their dry powder!

Add to that a bit of open interest that can get used for squeezing purposes and suddenly you're slicing through the book like it's butter.



This is the feeling I got at the 30k range and I'm getting it again. Maybe there's a little less buying juice left in the tank than before, but I still think this range is probably accumulation and not re-distribution.

"BUT MUH FUNDING ISNT NEGATIVE THE ENTIRE TIME".

I know I would also prefer consistent neg funding rates, however there has been a consistent spot premium.

Also... I heard bears are pussy ass bitches.

I don’t know but I’m on that stage of bitcoin where “buying the dip” is no more exciting.

Reason, it’s effecting my “average buy price”… feels sad kind a seeing my average buying price goes up with every now and then so called dip. Is it really a dip when it’s still > $40k?

It may not be so exciting to BTFD now, but it will be very exciting when the dip is over and UPpity resumes. It's always been like this. I remember buying at $1200 and wanting to kill myself when it dropped to $800, in early January 2017.

It's so odd thinking of thse purchases isn't it. You spend all this time trying to buy at the right moment and then a few years later you couldn't care less and even the shittist of the buys are awesome. Hodling is the way.

That’s true can’t agree more yes it’s not exciting right now but will be exciting in the long run.
