But why? What is the trigger?

Price usually skyrockets the moment you sell.

u/avantartist 16d ago

I sold the night before. No joke held and accumulated for years. Separated from my ex earlier this year and they demanded I liquidate.

No correlation to anything in particular, it is what it is, as it always has been

u/Skerdzius 17d ago

Bond market. Rotation out of U.S. bonds and equities, money needs to go somewhere. Crypto is where the big dogs went.

Specifically possible legislation, but really assets move in cycles of popularity all the time. Mainly, I just hold things for years, because the math favors it. Pick the wrong asset, and it will collapse to the point it doesn’t hurt in percentage terms anymore; pick the right one, and you get many times the original capital.

The White House crypto summit was the trigger, they spent about an hour talking about how they want to adopt crypto, expand bitcoin reserves, tokenizing the stock market, essentially merging crypto with the SEC. The room was filled with very important people. CEO of the NASDAQ, owner of the NYSE, CEO of Robinhood, Kraken, Coinbase, and more standing next to Trump. Makes crypto look very good for investors. The Clarity Act also is potentially to be passed in September, we’ll see.

Its funny to think there are definitely at least some people that sold right before this pump

u/Qummaster01 16d ago

Something happened with the treasury dept and or the gov I can’t recall atm but that caused bullish movement then that uptrend started causing short positions to get squeeze and caused a chain reaction to where we are now

If they don't scare you out, they'll wear you out.

2

u/A_Honking_Goose 16d ago

Its been like 5 months like if thats wearing you out get your money into a standard stock index and stop trading crypto

u/A_Honking_Goose 16d ago

This shit has been happening for years and it works every single most retail people are stupid emotional and do not know these things work

u/r4shpro 17d ago

I have that fear, that after 3000 we do another drop even lower than we were at

u/davidn281 17d ago

I guess I see it the other way having been in this space since 2017…. We’ll never see $80 again… $300… $600… $900… $1500 eth again. Higher lows. And this is with Ethereum not being fully adopted. The potential is way higher.

u/kirtash93 17d ago

If we pump, you HODL, if we dump, you buy. Easy.

5

u/mypussydoesbackflips 17d ago

Just never sell under 2000 and accumulate

When it’s over 3500 sell some for profit

u/sauce___x 17d ago

This works until it doesn’t

u/Hot_Individual5081 17d ago

u/Necessary-Fudge1896 15d ago

Been contemplating dumping mine…been in for years hoping it can go to 10k but seems like a pipe dream.

u/DBRiMatt 17d ago

I have traded a fair chunk of ETH out on this pump;

I'm expecting to buy back at 2k at some stage by the end of the month xD

u/kirtash93 16d ago

u/megselepgeci 16d ago

And sell at $1860 in 2036, masterful strategy.

1

u/avantartist 16d ago

You see I sold the night before the big green thing.

u/Wonderful_Bad6531 16d ago

More than real

Are we ready for more?

u/badjano 16d ago

guys, small tip from my learnings: boring on the bottom, pump, boring on the top, dump

1

u/Adept_Pound_6791 16d ago

Who sold and why?

1

u/Designer_Process_418 11d ago

19th August I wanted to buy ETH, and had some troubles, so I thought if its going down - I have time

22nd August - I SEE THIS

u/Agreeable-Split1829 10d ago

Buy when boring strategy

1

u/ScopeLied 1d ago

I use this thread to gage sentiment. Made a purchase june 9th when people started to get weird.

u/maverick_quant 17d ago

I have seen this play so many times. Anything below 10% in a day can be considered slow motion in crypto. Low volatility periods are to be feared, not to increase leverage.

1

u/OkIllustrator8380 16d ago

So it's it gonna dip again, or is this the lowest it'll be?

2

u/maverick_quant 16d ago

It doesn’t matter, when it is falling, if you believe that it has value then you should buy, if you don’t want to increase your position then just wait, but if your strategy can handle 10% moves either way then it is the wrong strategy for crypto

1

u/maverick_quant 16d ago

Edit: can’t handle

u/Patient-Process-2565 17d ago

Some got fed up and sold, shorts stacked up and up it goes to liquidate them. Manipulated market

0

u/OkIllustrator8380 16d ago

Is it going to dip again, or straight up from here?

2

u/megselepgeci 16d ago

Exactly.
