GBTC Surges 15% Today, Bitcoin and Overstock
Many thanks to Ken Romanov for inspiring me to chart and buy into GBTC (in at 4.70 from March 15th). And thanks to EagleSeagle, Surf City, Dangermouse and other Goldtent members who provided their charts and opinions as well. I see about 588% additional possible upside for GBTC provided this wedge breakout follows through. I have an unofficial mental stop of a weekly close below 4.0 for GBTC.
7 weekly candles above the breakout on the GBTC / Nasdaq 100 ratio chart.
And now to play some Devil’s Advocate. While GBTC appears to be off to the races, the official Bitcoin price (as measured by the NYSE Bitcoin Index) has not yet broken out of its downtrend against the Nasdaq 100 , but it may in the near future:
And here’s a chart of Overstock.com versus the Nasdaq 100. Overstock.com is the first major retailer to support Cryptocurrency, having partnered with Coinbase to accept Bitcoin as payment on its retail website. Overstock.com has not yet broken out against the Nasdaq 100, but we do see a possible inverse head and shoulders pattern under construction.
When the official Bitcoin price and Overstock.com break out against the Nasdaq 100, I would turn even more bullish on the Crypto sector. For now, I’m cautiously optimistic with my 20% gain on GBTC (again thank you Goldtent community for that gain!). -Harry
Great Community effort Harry; I love it when teamwork synchronizes for the common good and the end result rewards all that participated. Welcome aboard, your perspectives are appreciated!
Nice move in BTC !!
Up 30% monthly on my portfolio. After BTC pump to probably 6000 USD the show will be in Altcoins. Will post some individual charts later on. Let’s enjoy !
I don’t know whether this is bullish or bearish, but rumor has it that the CBOE plans on killing the bitcoin contract in a couple of months.
I capitulate
It’s Bit Tent Now

A single buyer made it jump.
Bitcoin prices jumped 15.3 percent Tuesday morning after a large, anonymous buyer placed a $100 million order.
A single $100 million algorithmic order to buy bitcoin was spread across exchanges Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp. The orders were placed in increments of 7,000 BTC at a time and triggered a flurry of subsequent trading volume in the cryptocurrency markets.
Why It’s Important:
There was no major fundamental news related to bitcoin that triggered the large order.
It’s a sucker’s rally.
