For those wondering: I'm totally fine. Just disconnecting from all the Twitter negativity and focusing on charts/enjoying life. There's no point tweeting when there's no change.

This comes at a time when Bitcoin rallied 43% in a month with analysts predicting the apex crypto to reach $30,000 easily.

This is your daily reminder that $30K Bitcoin is a magnet.

If we’re being honest though, $40K+ is too.

Capo on Jan. 21 said with the way the price is shooting up, testing high timeframe resistances, “it clearly looks manipulated, no real demand. Once again, the biggest bull trap I've ever seen. But they won't trap me.”

I've been checking charts all this time, avoiding noise from Twitter. The way the upward movement is happening, the way htf resistances are being tested... it clearly looks manipulated, no real demand.

Once again, the biggest bull trap I've ever seen. But they won't trap me.
