@openbull - thanks for sharing! Very interesting and informative breakdown of this significant change to the price of BTC.

Personally, I think it's an easy bet to short the price of BTC and although at it's current market capitalisation, it would be almost impossible to manipulate the price, I don't see why some institutional traders wouldn't take some profits soon which would leave the "shorters" in good stead on their bets.

Feels like the market has been a little too manic lately!

Resteemed and upvoted to see if we can get a wider conversation going around this.

Thanks again!
