This breakout includes more or less the same setup as right now with respect to time since the last halfing and a change of POTUS, as in both cases it's a 4 year cycle. The difference this time is the approval by the actual administration of ETF's at the beginning of the year and there for the first official regulation of bitcoin by the US as well as an official support by the incoming president to retain confiscated btc as a means of building up a national reserve of btc.

A closer look into the wigs created most likely by leveraged trades in the extreme environment of this bull market FOMO at the edge of 90k.

The 1 minute chart of bitstamp shows excessive wigs in both directions indicating probably a low volume of trading book depth creating large price movements by the traders.

The chart of Huobi (HTX) shows large wigs to the downside with a strange delay to the actual market movements with a low of 80.3k. The drop at nearly 6 o'clock followed by 5 and 15 minute green candles apparently incited already leveraged positions to add more leverage. A smaller retracement an hour later created the first wig of 5.8% at 06:58. The ongoing bearish evolution of the market price created a second wig of 6.5% resulting in the market low of the day of 80.3k. A last wig of 2.02% appeared a minute after market open on the first small drop of the market before initializing it's rally to test 90k again. These drops most likely created a domino effect of cascading stop loss positions set by triggered stop loss sales at market price to prevent the final liquidation of the respective margin accounts.

How to buy large amounts of bitcoin in a bullish FOMO market.

Observing the volume candles it looks like the daily ETF buys are testing different strategies to acquire their required bitcoin volumes. As of now apparently three distinct behaviors have been tested.

After a Friday closing bell bullish sentiment into the very last candle, the latest two week chart looks like a make it or break it setup for bitcoin that could very well go ballistic if the volume after the closing bell on the streets of NY holds on as of now.

Bitcoin breaks 100k USD for the first time on Wednesday 4th of December 2024 after stock market close in NY. After establishing 104k ATH a crash around 13% occurred taking out probabbly most of over leveraged trades.

The candle constellation on the 1hs chart looks quite similar to the candle constellation after breaking 90k topping out in 93k with a ~5.3% correction.

In May of 2024 a 13% correction occurred around 69k before reaching the 73k ATH of the bull run following ETF's creation in the US stock market.
