Degenerates still not letting go of leverage. I expect to see 35k BTC soon

I'll keep tossing in a little $$ each week and keep buying the dip

I don’t think it goes to 35k. We’ve seen the bottom but it will remain at 41-43 for a while due to the leveraged degens. Need three weeks of despair to force out the degens before it goes back up to ATH.

Can either of you explain what you mean by leveraged degenerates?LongDukDong said:I don’t think it goes to 35k. We’ve seen the bottom but it will remain at 41-43 for a while due to the leveraged degens. Need three weeks of despair to force out the degens before it goes back up to ATH.

Retail and brokerages buying Bitcoin with money they don’t have. Typically, these situations are prime for whales to sell a chunk of their investments to trigger a massive drop, only for them to re-enter at much lower prices. People are less likely to hold a heavily leveraged asset.DerekJohnson said:

Oh, I see. I understand that but didn't draw a correlation. I was talking to a friend of mine earlier this week and told her to get her money off the exchanges ASAP, because she had 100% of her BTC on there. She said why, and I told her that who is to say that the exchanges actually possess the BTC that they claimed to have sold to her. And also, if the shit hits the fan the government could confiscate her BTC and she would have zero say over the matter.greenblood said:

But I guess I didn't consider how the exchanges doing that could drive down the price.

Same thing is going on with equities (lines of credit against portfolios / carry trades).
Big difference is that digital currencies have never gone through a real recession. -
@sonics1993 where are you getting this info about leverage? It's obviously happening but I don't know of any data showing how much leverage is in the BTC space.

This isn't for BTC but leverage for it probably tracks margin for equities relatively closely:

The bitty bottom is in right near 40k. We are in the last phase of a wyckoff distribution and the spring will happen soon. Could take perhaps 1-3 weeks but we will be back to all time highs after that. Need to close above 46k to be considered on the uptrend again.
Leverage trading is one of the main reasons whales dump their shares in order to liquidate all the leveraged degens that end up losing it all. I would never fuck around with leverage unless you know what you’re doing and invest for a living. When you’re invested long or short in leverage, there is a líquidation price where you lose it all. Whales can see this and will liquidate when too many people are using it. Leverage was astoundingly high with this recent dump to 40k. -
Better be careful. Bitcoin has become akin to a triple leveraged QQQ. If the market drops, BTC will get crushed. As it is BTC doesn't like the money printing slowing down. And it's happening world wide.
