    Roundtripped again... $900+ profits to about break even, closed half position at $18,795 and $18,804

    Was waiting for the Asian traders to get the party going but they never showed up, volume was flattish

    Anyway, good day today, will go long again tomorrow morning

    Thank you, Axon. Very much appreciate your post. I stopped posting trades, mainly because volatility was crap on btc (perp futures) until recently

    Today is a bad entry but I plan to hold the position for many hours. I think btc is going back to $20K but it may not necessarily mean today or tomorrow

    Bad timing on my part, woke up and seeing that chart green candle after green candle on good volume. Still looking for the news that drove this move, but haven't found it, yet. Will update the thread if I see one

    It may just be a bunch of leveraged shorts that keep getting liquidated and then new shorts pile on to higher prices. Saw a Twitter post that the funding for being long btc perp futures is negative(?) the market is too heavy on the short side they pay the traders to go long, but still not enough takers

    Anyway, there are 2 charts I always post, the one on the left is from the crypto perpetual futures platform but the one on the right is the more accurate market chart - Binance Spot market with volume info

    Minor update, position is now in good profits, I pray I don't roundtrip it to a loss, but no plans to close, yet

    The nice uptrend of bitcoin price is also related to the metals uptrend. Yellen worried about government shutdown or something in June, could be a reason for money printer go brrr
