SP500 Entanglement of Price Action IIThe price touched the line with specific angle that covers ATH and (current) Lower High. I consider it as a point of reference because current observable price can be explained with that vector. The line separates 2 outcomes: Continuation of the uptrend Rejection Significant reversals that caused the structure to look the way it looks are: "ATH" 4 JAN'22 13 OCT'22 Lowest (> 2 years) 27 JUL'23 Lower High Those dates initiated longer term movements, hence defining the entanglement. The angle of general direction can be defined by the Fibonacci Channels of macro-fractal which emerged from Covid Low: It kinda exposes their domestic "spin to the side". Another example: Since the angle of -27.47% drop (ATH and Lowest >2yrs) are more perpendicular to the direction of time scale, the derived fibonacci would define periods of waves. Matches angle of -10.93% drop from 27 JUL'23 to 0.382 fib of the domestic structure. But, since after such drop, it didn't fall further but in reverse grew back, it must be defined with upward direction vector, the fibs of which would cover that low with cold colors. The fact of growing at higher levels after just 10% drop, deserve to get filtered with upward fibs. In respect to 31% growth the current price resides at 0.618. Further interconnectedness of points: 1.236 fib confirms that price is indeed at crossroad and in case of violating it, the price would set its tendency to move to next (1.382) fib line and reverse there under heavier pressure. Currently price is still under pressure because the market has grown to levels of domestic resistance. The curve shows mathematical function that mimics highs before reversing. Hence, it can be used to refer deviation where the price can end up after escaping ATH-LH-Current_Price vector. Otherwise, with failing to breakout now, it might go for correction in short-term perspective as soon as players notice that market is at already saturated levels.

QNT/USDT Break Alert !! Ready to Continue the Upward Moment ??💎 QNT has certainly captured our attention with its impressive rally, ascending from a robust support level and effortlessly navigating through the descending channel pattern. However, confirmation of this breakout remains pending, and we advise monitoring higher timeframes, such as the daily chart, to guard against a potential false breakout. 💎 Should QNT secure a position above the descending channel on a daily closing basis, it would signify a legitimate breakout, Probabilty setting the stage for continued advances toward targeted resistance and even further to the supply zones. 💎 Conversely, if QNT fails to uphold its position and closes beneath the descending channel pattern in the daily timeframe, it would indicate a rejection, raising the likelihood of a regression to the demand zone, specifically the $100 - $96 range. This retreat would be a strategic move to gather renewed strength for another attempt at breaking through. 💎 A less favorable development could occur if QNT while retesting the demand zone, fails to show signs of a bullish rejection or resurgence. Under these circumstances, QNT might forfeit its stance at the demand level, potentially breaking lower. Such a turn of events would signal a downward trajectory for QNT, prompting a reevaluation at the formidable support levels below.

QSI Quantum-Si Earnings Release on Monday, Before the BellIf you haven`t bought the Double Bottom: Then you should know that QSI, Quantum-Si incorporated, also known as The Protein Sequencing Company is bringing single-molecule protein sequencing to every lab, everywhere, enabling new discoveries that will transform the world we live in. Importance of Protein Sequencing: - Understanding Cellular Processes: Proteins are involved in virtually every cellular process, and their sequencing is vital for understanding how these processes are regulated and how dysfunction leads to diseases. - Drug Development: Protein sequencing assists in drug discovery by identifying specific targets for pharmaceutical intervention. This knowledge enables the design of drugs that can interact with specific proteins, thereby treating diseases more effectively. - Bioengineering and Enzyme Production: Protein sequencing is critical in the field of bioengineering, allowing the design of proteins with tailored functions for various applications, including industrial enzyme production and bioremediation. I think protein sequencing should have the same importance as gene sequencing. Gene sequencing has revolutionized medical research, agriculture, and our comprehension of evolutionary history. On the other hand, protein sequencing has paved the way for targeted drug development, bioengineering, and the investigation of cellular processes. QSI has cash and cash equivalents of $322.1 million as of March 31,2023 to provide a runway to support operations and invest in the business into 2026, and NO debt! This Quarter started he sale of PlatinumTM instruments and kits with a gross margin of 48.8%. QSI has a Market Cap of $485Mil vs CRSP, my favorite gene editing company, with a Market Cap of 4.046Bil. So there is still a lot of upside in QSI Quantum-Si incorporated! Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

QSI Quantum-Si | Why is so Bullish? Price Target ! If you haven`t bought the Double Bottom here: Then I'll try an explanation why QSI Quantum-Si incorporated is so Bullish right now! QSI is a protein sequencing company, which could be revolutionary, similar to the gene sequencing stocks. Quantum-Si Incorporated is dedicated to developing a protein detection platform that enables Next Generation Protein Sequencing (NGPS). This comprehensive platform consists of the Carbon automated sample preparation instrument, the Platinum single-molecule detection and NGPS instrument with Time-Domain Sequencing chip, the Quantum-Si Cloud data analysis software, and reagent kits designed for use with its instruments. QSI's competitor, RXRX, experienced a significant boost in its stock price after announcing a $50 million investment from NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) on July 12. The investment was part of a private investment in public equity (PIPE) arrangement. With this deal, NVIDIA gains access to Recursion Pharmaceuticals' (NASDAQ: RXRX) extensive biochemical and genetic data. NVIDIA plans to utilize this data to train machine-learning models in support of its new BioNeMo service, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool for drug discovery. Simultaneously, NVIDIA will also collaborate with Recursion to enhance their own models for drug discovery. Apart from Quantum-Si's Platinum product, which began selling this quarter, the company also offers cloud-based proteomics data analysis software, made possible by their single-molecule detection and NGPS instrument with Time-Domain Sequencing chip. Considering this, I believe it's only a matter of time until a major chip developer, such as NVDA, or a cloud services company with interest in the field, makes an investment similar to NVDA's investment in RXRX. This is my growth thesis, and regarding the Price Target, I find $10 to be reasonable for now, and there's also the possibility of a potential buyout. Looking forward to read your opinion about it!

QSI Growth Thesis ! ARK Biggest Shareholder Accumulating !Quantum-Si (QSI), currently trading at $1.55, presents an intriguing growth opportunity with the potential to at least double in value. Several factors contribute to this growth thesis: Disruptive Technology: QSI's technology has the capability to revolutionize the discovery of new diagnostic tests and pharmaceuticals through digitization. By leveraging AI and digitizing the industry, QSI can significantly accelerate and reduce the cost of these discoveries. The implementation of AI has the potential to exponentially enhance the speed and efficiency of the process, positioning QSI at the forefront of innovation in the field. Founder's Confidence: Jonathan Rothberg, the founder of QSI, has displayed unwavering confidence in the company's future. Notably, Rothberg has not sold a single share and, in fact, acquired tens of thousands of shares in the $3-4 range last year. This demonstrates his belief in the company's long-term potential, which is a rarity among new companies. In contrast to many other recent IPOs, where founders and CEOs have been selling shares, Rothberg's continued investment reflects his dedication and commitment to QSI's success. Strong Financial Position: QSI boasts a robust financial position with over $330 million in cash and zero debt. This substantial cash reserve provides the company with a secure foundation and ample resources to fund operations for at least three years. This financial stability is uncommon for a company that went public through a SPAC, instilling confidence in QSI's ability to execute its plans without facing immediate financial constraints. Strengthening Executive Team: QSI has been bolstering its executive team, attracting talented individuals from reputable companies such as ILMN (Illumina). This strategic move enhances QSI's expertise and further positions the company for successful execution of its plans. The addition of experienced professionals from a prominent industry player underscores QSI's commitment to assembling a capable team to drive growth and innovation. ARK's Support: ARK, an influential investment firm, has been actively accumulating QSI shares, driving up demand and limiting the availability of public shares. With approximately 9.75% ownership in QSI and an average acquisition price of $9.91, ARK's confidence in the company's potential is evident. Their continued investments, as seen in their recent purchase worth $675K, signal a positive outlook for QSI and attract attention from other investors. From a technical analysis perspective, Quantum-Si (QSI) appears to be forming a double bottom pattern, which can indicate a potential trend reversal and a bullish signal. The double bottom pattern is characterized by two distinct price lows, with a moderate upward price movement in between, forming a "W" shape on the chart. In the case of QSI, the formation of a double bottom pattern suggests that selling pressure may be diminishing, and buyers could potentially step in to drive the stock's price higher. This pattern often signifies a shift in market sentiment from bearish to bullish. Based on the double bottom pattern, some technical analysts may project a potential price target. In this case, the price target of $1.93 indicates the expected upside move if QSI breaks above the pattern's neckline or resistance level. Considering these factors, Quantum-Si (QSI) presents an intriguing growth opportunity. The disruptive technology, founder's confidence, strong financial position, strengthened executive team, and support from influential investors contribute to a compelling investment thesis. While investments involve risks, QSI's current valuation of $1.55 potentially offers significant upside, with the potential for at least doubling in value based on the provided information. Looking forward to read your opinion about it!

SP500 Fib Modeling IIn physics, when charged particles are fired at double slit, chances are they will leave 2 marks as they would go through 2 slits. Those waves of uncertainty crash into each other and interfere, merging and canceling each other out just like any other waves. Then, when an electron's wave hits the back screen, the particle finally has to decide where to land. Slowly, electron by electron, the wave pattern builds up. Our expectations can be evaluated by checking the results. But results can change by simply witnessing the process closeup. An intervention of consciousness can alter reality. Particle as we know started behaving like wave as if they were aware of being watched. So each time particle is fired, it becomes a wave of potential as it approaches the slits and through the quantum world of infinite possibilities finds its final destination. As a result we get interference pattern , the mark that commonly shared by targets of particles after going through such chaotic journey. The electron can go through both slits as wave of potential, then it collides back forming particle hitting the layer! Act of additional measuring by repeating experiment can make the particle act normal again with two stripes pattern. From this I'd outline the sharp changes in behavior as well as shift in entity itself. The collapse of wave function caused by particle's awareness of ongoing surveillance can in some way mean that matter is a derivative from consciousness. And these are the building blocks of universe, where things can simply appear and vanish without evident reason. Removed irrelevant fibs: Fibonacci Ratios found in regular Retracement as well as TimeFibs fit the parameters of Wave Function. The overlap of Golden Ratio with real life example of interference pattern formed by two slits using regular white light as a source. I was pleased to acknowledge that Fibonacci numbers with its known features are also applicable in Quantum Mechanics, when we're dealing with the odds, probabilities and forecasting. This observation actually adds more credibility to FIBS and explains my long fascination over price behaving differently near fibs in one way or the other. Wave-particle duality is an example of superposition. That is a quantum object existing in multiple states at once. An electron, for example, is both ‘here’ and ‘there’ simultaneously. It’s only once we do an experiment to find out where it is that it settles down into one or the other. Today we know that this ‘quantum entanglement’ is real, but we still don’t fully understand what’s going on. Let’s say that we bring two particles together in such a way that their quantum states are inexorably bound, or entangled. One is in state A, and the other in state B. The Pauli exclusion principle says that they can’t both be in the same state. If we change one, the other instantly changes to compensate. This happens even if we separate the two particles from each other on opposite sides of the universe. It’s as if information about the change we’ve made has traveled between them faster than the speed of light. This makes quantum physics all about probabilities. We can only say which state an object is most likely to be in once we look. These odds are encapsulated into a mathematical entity called the wave function. Making an observation is said to ‘collapse’ the wave function, destroying the superposition and forcing the object into just one of its many possible states. Arranging the fractal by phases with fibonacci on both price and time scales is an alternative approach to the known quantum mechanical solutions to finance, thus relying on a postulate that quantum mechanics applies to finance unchanged. For market prices, it is important to note that nowadays we are looking at a lot of noise when handling them. In financial markets we are dealing with infinite possibilities emerging patterns which also creates chaotic process just like in subatomic levels. On molecular scale, we know that elements don't just react without a reason. It can bond with other elements if it shares corresponding properties of valence. When it matches the electron configuration, it bonds into new compound generating geometric shapes like hexagon of new chemical structure, like shapes of puzzles unite to resemble a bigger picture. Similarly, as market makes a move, it determines next candle's dimensions. If previous candle hypothetically had different properties, then the current candle wouldn't be the same it's forming right now. I'd say even the slightest change can significantly delay or change targets and outcomes. Price action also rhymes with time cycles. Sometimes these cycles of different wavelengths overlap resulting in breakout with short-term rapid growth rate. To get an approximate idea of where price is heading to, we must carry out a thought process. Let's assume market is heading up. We know that chances of a rapid pump to establish new ATH in one day is very low. We assume it's rather going to start with gradual growth when breaking from cyclic entangled side trend. Imagine the candles are made out of metal string so you could touch it and play with it according to all laws of physics just like with a regular piece of metal wire in real life. Now imagine just grabbing the right end of it and pulling upwards to simulate shape unfolding into direction of your target... Nevertheless, various fragments of final structure would still carry its systematic shapes which were originally determined by the market. In both cases these is a psychological effect, almost convincing me, that the market path is predetermined by trajectories of EMA with intermediate arguments rather than by short-term direction of a wave a spike and collapses. And it's not about the overall performance of the economy or any other factors, market simply derives the path on the go like in multi-universe concept. The fact that >90% of people are losing is a result of sticking to the current market information noise and news. chances are market simply would have already reacted to the narrative even long before entries were placed. That's how fast things are happening. This happens when market is correcting to other "upcoming" more dominant arising fundamentals whether they are positive or negative. The curve of information distribution speed is vital concept which contributes to ignoring the naive need for information backup behind price moves. Many serious participants of the market are deaf to news. Whatever we receive, we must acknowledge that by the time we receive the news, millions of people already digested those them provided by some media company with their own angle in it. News trading is a very hysterical thing to do, unless you are among the first wave of investors possessing the information from real insiders. The lots and billions of entries in favor for the narrative are already locked in and they are waiting for the last remaining crowd to jump in to be kill them at 5th wave. Considering an accumulation should be after completing a fall. We must feel comfortable at places where the rest still feel fear in order to be able to beat them off due to averaging trades without blind faith. Modern approaches to stock pricing in quantitative finance are typically founded on the Black-Scholes model and the underlying random walk hypothesis. Empirical data indicate that this hypothesis works well in stable situations but, in abrupt transitions such as during an economical crisis, the random walk model fails and alternative descriptions are needed. For this reason, several proposals have been recently forwarded which are based on the formalism of quantum mechanics. In this paper we apply the SCoP formalism, elaborated to provide an operational foundation of quantum mechanics, to the stock market. We argue that a stock market is an intrinsically contextual system where agents&apos; decisions globally influence the market system and stocks prices, determining a nonclassical behavior. More specifically, we maintain that a given stock does not generally have a definite value, e.g., a price, but its value is actualized as a consequence of the contextual interactions in the trading process. This contextual influence is responsible of the non-Kolmogorovian quantum-like behavior of the market at a statistical level. Then, we propose a sphere model within our hidden measurement formalism that describes a buying/selling process of a stock and shows that it is intuitively reasonable to assume that the stock has not a definite price until it is traded. This result is relevant in my opinion since it provides a theoretical support to the use of quantum models in finance. Fibonacci ratios are another way of exposing the probability of future prices in respect to timing. Even when overwhelming majority of people expect growth after good news with obvious positive factors, price can fall and expectations of millions can easily be shattered by market in an action. Identifying patterns is a part of making sense of out of randomness. There is a logical parallel: If an observer can collapse wave function, same way the collective consciousness of market crashed the wave function of uptrend. This happens and quite often. Some people incorporate prime numbers to their trading systems. But of course I'd stick with fibonacci, because golden ratio governs chaos behind price swings as well as its time cycles derived from coordinates of fractal peaks and bottoms. I put tremendous amount of accent on raw data of candles. It doesn't just stop where it does, it is predestined to do it due to chain of cause and effect loop. New formed candles of particular metrics is a direct result of nearest historic candles and mathematical relationship shared between all of them. The way things are curved in nature and space, even exponential growth can be perfectly simulated with fibonacci sequence. Fib ratios are credible as they share and fit into concepts from fractal geometry and chaos theory as well as describing behavior of complex processes. A line simple line can be used to link of some recent buildup of systematic patterns to similar historic fractal echoing back into present. A properly observed shape can tell more words than any news article, as it passes through the phases of cycle. By documenting nature of short-term swings we can evaluate how market is determining the most efficient price having continuous stream of information, different opinions, events and other factors on the background can directly or indirectly shape the value of an asset. Patterns can tell whether collective psyche of the market feels distrust or approval of ongoing narrative and world trends are unfolding. It's quite easy to say "buy the dip" or "buy at the finishing stage of falling". It sure takes a good combination of decisiveness, discipline and being able to stick to your plan. But how can we be so sure that price will follow the direction after entry. To answer that question, I'd monitor the security with BSP - "Buying & Selling Pressure". During selloff SP is obviously over BP. We wait till SP loses momentum and declines while BP begins grow. This way we got ourselves interested. Then we examine the hypothetical entry by chain of logical confirmations. We actually need to wait for Buying Pressure to cross over Selling Pressure. IF bpma > spma is true, confirm with: volume > ta.ema(volume, 20) or ta.atr(10) > ta.atr(10) ta.ema(ohlc4, 13) >= ta.ema(ohlc4, 13) and ta.ema(ohlc4, 5) >= ta.ema(ohlc4, 8) and ta.ema(ohlc4, 5) < ta.ema(ohlc4, 8) bpma > bpma and ta.crossover(close, ta.vwma(close, 13)) stoploss = close - average(bpma, spma) If all of the conditions are met in a row, wait for correction to complete, see the Selling Pressure falling and enter with the next green candle. Meeting just 1 of these conditions would technically push me into placing a long order. However, I wouldn't do it without fabric of PriceTime scales interconnected with candle data by fibonacci ratios. Refracted EMA can also be a tool of choice to determine the levels support and resistance. Personally I'd go with fibonacci, because they are based on raw chart data instead of averaging with MA's and its derivatives.

QTUM Channeling towards new lows?LOG SCALE 1) Bouncing nicely off 0.618 which could act as a start ramp for the next upmove. 2) Making a new low < $2.35 would trigger next leg down towards perfect buy zone $1.08 - $1.60 (0.786 / 1.886+0.886 confluence) Whats next? Since there hasnt been capitulative volume yet, suppose another leg down would be in favor unless breaking the channel to the upside.

SPAC: Special Acquisition to "IPO private companies"Dipping your toes into the wild "reverse IPO" SPACs.... A SPAC, Special Purpose Acquisition Company, is a company that uses its funds to transform existing private companies to list them on the Stock Market. Read up on the SEC.GOV on these "special" financial instruments from Wall Street and friends before risking a penny on these things. We'll use a special SPAC acquiring a company very close to home: D-Wave Systems of Vancouver (Burnaby), Canada regulated under Canadian and BC Laws. For D-Wave's IPO via XPOA (the SPAC) to QBTS ("quantum bits") this will be done on the NYSE listed. D-Wave Systems is currently private and a leader in Quantum Computing with North American headquarters and control. A former Canadian star is graduating to the US. See the company web site for details www.dwavesys.com AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the future and "Quantum Bits" D-Wave QBTS might do very well as it becomes fully vetted in the USA via it's "big board", the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange). Everything needs "servers" and quantum computers are the big players in serving processing speeds. Check the past and recent clients for D-Wave Systems. In this Tutorial, we'll use TradingView Charts to explaining the possible price action on this chart based on the public information available both in the US (new D-Wave Regulatory home) and Canada (existing D-Wave Regulatory home). As a way of a background: D-Wave a leading Canadian Quantum SuperComputing is on its way to "move" from being privately held in Vancouver, Canada to being American sharesholder owned via NYSE under the expected symbol QBTS..SPACs are one way to play the IPO but it's all speculative. These are listed as The very interesting thing with the Markets is Canada operates under its own rules and Laws. So something that might be approved in Court last week for example, is "public" in Canada but may not be advertised in the US until regulatory requirements are met in both Canada and the US. The Charts on XPOA (DCPM Capital), shows the spike in February 2022 when the acquisition was announced. "Update: D-Wave to Go Public via Merger with SPAC DPCM Capital; DPCM Shares Rise Feb 8, 202208:47 Reuters D-Wave Systems, a provider of quantum computing systems, software, and services, said Tuesday that it has agreed to merge with special purpose acquisition company DPCM Capital (XPOA) to become a publicly-traded entity." In July, the charts shows the XPOA (and associated XPOA.U and XPOA.W) was repriced and the market respected sending the SPAC from the $10s to the $7s This is a SPAC to watch since D-Wave Systems is a large company located in Greater Vancouver, Canada. It was a Canadian technology company and will become one of the few (or only?) pure play US company in the Quantum Computing space. There is a customary US publication ban until proper regulatory approval is received. The "may not be distributed in the United States" allows the company to get past stockholders to understand the restructuring. Track the official Public filings available from the SEC in the US. The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) being the regular lists any public information as filed by the company at: www.sec.gov The Latest public news is www.sec.gov A Shareholder vote to be voted on TOMORROW August 2nd 2022 Price action shows it has very good changes of being approved especially given the Provincial/State Canadian BC Court Approval last week which was public with restrictions on the company relating to publication in the US prior to Shareholder approval. Interesting times... DISCLOSURE & Liability Waiver: The above could be all wrong. FACT CHECK everything anonymous posts! BR is part of a group of Researchers of the Markets and regulatory protocols. SPACs are truly "special" (read up at SEC.GOV) and not for the novice investors. These "high growth speculative plays" need to be viewed with either deep fundamental analysis. HTA (Hybrid Technical Analysts) using certain "conditions" to determine when to jump on and off. Volume and changes in volume is one of the key indicators and mapping these to Regulatory Disclosures is interesting. For "XPOA SPAC to QBTS IPO", since this is the Study at this point given the Events, we expect Bullish volume to possibly resume here with a massive short squeeze as the dark uncertainties get cleared up tomorrow DPCM Capital/D-Wave Systems Special Shareholder Vote August 2nd 2022. Only shareholders as of June 2022 get to participate and vote at the Shareholder Meeting. Contact the company or Regulators for more information or post as a Comment if you know something public that isn't widely known. Just think I'm just an "Elf on summer break", I have no freaking idea where that Rudolf is! That "red nose" is a concern for some but it's NOT because the poor is a drunk. That's vicious rumours by bad actors! He was just born that way! Seriously, this is just an early "heads up" from "Up North", friendly neighbours. Hey! Peace on Earth and at Home.

Quantum cryptography and Post-Quantum cryptographyHello guys today i want to explain Quantum cryptography and Post-quantum cryptography and how they can affect blockchain security and whats the solution. lets start with a brief explanation of cryptography: Cryptography is the process of encrypting data, or converting plain text into scrambled text so that only someone who has the right “key” can read it. NOW what is quantum cryptography? Quantum cryptography simply uses the principles of quantum mechanics to encrypt data and transmit it in a way that cannot be hacked. and what is Post-Quantum cryptography? Post-quantum cryptography refers to cryptographic algorithms (usually public-key algorithms) that are thought to be secure against an attack by a quantum computer. These complex mathematical equations take traditional computers months or even years to break. However, quantum computers running Shor’s algorithm will be able to break math-based systems in moments. How Quantum Cryptography Works? Quantum cryptography, or quantum key distribution (QKD), uses a series of photons (light particles) to transmit data from one location to another over a fiber optic cable. By comparing measurements of the properties of a fraction of these photons, the two endpoints can determine what the key is and if it is safe to use. The sender transmits photons through a filter (or polarizer) which randomly gives them one of four possible polarizations and bit designations: Vertical (One bit), Horizontal (Zero bit), 45 degree right (One bit), or 45 degree left (Zero bit). The photons travel to a receiver, which uses two beam splitters (horizontal/vertical and diagonal) to “read” the polarization of each photon. The receiver does not know which beam splitter to use for each photon and has to guess which one to use. Once the stream of photons has been sent, the receiver tells the sender which beam splitter was used for each of the photons in the sequence they were sent, and the sender compares that information with the sequence of polarizers used to send the key. The photons that were read using the wrong beam splitter are discarded, and the resulting sequence of bits becomes the key. If the photon is read or copied in any way by an eavesdropper, the photon’s state will change. The change will be detected by the endpoints. In other words, this means you cannot read the photon and forward it on or make a copy of it without being detected. The Solution We Need Now for Tomorrow! The need for unbreakable encryption is staring us in the face. With the development of quantum computers looming on the horizon, the integrity of encrypted data is at risk now. Fortunately, quantum cryptography, through QKD, offers the solution we need to safeguard our information well into the future – all based on the complex principles of quantum mechanics. In January 2022 a team at Sussex University spin-out company Universal Quantum published research on transit attacks which calculated that it would require a quantum computer with a 1.9 billion qubit-capacity to break Bitcoin’s encryption in the required ten-minute window (this is the time taken for a Bitcoin to be mined). Even at 317 million qubits it would take an hour and 13 million qubits for a day. For context, IBM’s superconducting quantum computer currently has a 127-qubit processor. REFRENCES: www.investmentmonitor.ai www.quantumxc.com www.techtarget.com Hope you enjoy this article. please share me your opinion about Quantum computing in comments. can they break BITCOIN???!!!

Special to Quantum ComputingIt's often said the people who made money during the Gold Rush were pick makers and Lewis Jeans Co. In the digital world, leaders in computing power are at the forefront of the biotech, robotics and AI revolution that we have embarked on. Grab your seat... "mutability" is a powerful skill to have. Understanding the environment and adapting to the ever changing landscape has never been more important. Let's talk about those SPACs Never been a fan until just last week more as a co-research project I'm working on for security. Let's focus on one that was announced last Feb 2022 and is heading to a Special Shareholder Vote tomorrow. "D-Wave Systems, a provider of quantum computing systems, software, and services, said Tuesday that it has agreed to merge with special purpose acquisition company DPCM Capital (XPOA) to become a publicly-traded entity." There is a special shareholder meeting for holders of this SPAC to readjust to the changing times. That event will happen tomorrow August 2nd 2022. If you missed it, check with IR and SEC public filings at edgar.sec.gov As a US regulated company, it should all be there. D-Wave in Canada is currently private and apparently firing on all cylinders from informal observations. Canada filings would be done within the appropriate Authority & Regulator for that Jurisdiction. Check with a financial advisor. I'm just an observer on a keyboard that likes to look at charts, keep my nose clean and study the markets to find possible gems in the muck of "stuff". D-Wave Systems is a great candidate for a SPAC reverse-IPO thing. Let's hope the Regulators on both sides of the border work together to make sure all eyes are on this one. Note: This was the last update with summary from Feb 2022: Update: D-Wave to Go Public via Merger with SPAC DPCM Capital; DPCM Shares Rise Feb 8, 202208:47 (Updates with stock move in the headline and last paragraph.) D-Wave Systems, a provider of quantum computing systems, software, and services, said Tuesday that it has agreed to merge with special purpose acquisition company DPCM Capital (XPOA) to become a publicly-traded entity. Upon closing of the deal, shares of D-Wave Quantum Inc., a newly formed parent company of D-Wave and DPCM Capital, will start trading on the NYSE under the symbol QBTS. The transaction values D-Wave at an equity value of roughly $1.2 billion. D-Wave plans to use proceeds of $340 million to further accelerate its delivery of in-production quantum applications for blue-chip customers and to build on over 200 US patents that it has been granted. After the closing of the deal, the combined entity will continue to operate from D-Wave's R&D and head office location in British Columbia, Canada. The Analysis: TA As of August 1st 2022. Tradingview TA www.tradingview.com (note: XPOA symbol to change to QBTS apparently?) Summary: SELL 14,7,5 (watch last number increase as Yes vote gets confirmed, the current hypothesis) Oscillators BUY 1,6,4 (mostly neutral at 6 but 4 should be increasing) Moving Averages STRONG SELL 13,1,1 (MA-only based short sellers/algos/traders want to sell. This could be a formidable short squeeze potential in vote is large, or shorts could be predicting this is garbage). Fundamentals Everything depends on the vote tomorrow. Based on all information findable in Public (via SEC Edgars and other official sources). This is a Watch or Casino Bet pending vote. Tomorrow will confirm a Bullish Run or an abysmal US SPAC failure. Dog Food Fund Candidate "pre-IPO" "smelly SPAC" XPOA -> NYSE QBTS Quantum Computing "junior" that is a leader in its North American space. Place your bet, trade or investment .
