Bitcoin Trendline Failure (by Xerxes)
Let’s get the chart out the way. Bitcoin, the OG, is starting to break beneath the trendline drawn from September 2015 lows through the March 2020 COVID lows. This trendline lines up right here at the horizontal area at 19666, the high set from December 2017.

A successful break here would yield a very possible return to 11k, with subsequent support levels at 5750 and even 3400.

Pains Thus Far Unfelt
You have almost certainly moved before, like from one house to another. If your experience is anything like mine, what happens is that you start with the big stuff, such as beds, cabinets, the dining room table, the chairs, and so forth. Only a few hours into the move, you look around and figure that you’ve made so much progress so fast, that this thing will be over in no time!
But as the moving progresses, things begin to slow down exponentially. You pack clothes into boxes. You start to clear out the garage. And then, God help you, you start to go through all the bathroom and kitchen drawers. The things you’re packing getting smaller and more multitudinous.
