The first stock I mentioned in my Long Ideas post yesterday, Cipher Mining, is up double digits today and has escaped its consolidation pattern to the upside.

Bitcoin has had a superb year for itself. Even though 2024 isn’t even half over, $BTC has moved up hundreds of percent, and it has neatly been banging inside its gently-ascending rainbow. All is well, right?

All assets are joined at the hip. It didn’t used to be that way. These days, however, with the government fully in charge of thrusting liquidity into the markets, it doesn’t matter if you’re talking about gold, stocks, or kitty litter, everything moves up or down together. This is why I’d like to highlight the fact that Bitcoin ($BTC) seems to be squandering its opportunity to burst forth from its green basing pattern, shown below. Instead, it has spent a week just lamely roaming around doing nothing. It is entirely possible the price is going to slip well into that green zone, spoiling the setup and souring the entire crypto space.
I sure hope so!
