"The btc.d chart is getting more and more interesting. I'd argue we had a minor close below the 100MA weekly now. The bb is widening a bit again coiling up for a move. Also we clearly moved out of the triangle now. Time to rug this and hard too. I can't stop staring on the this btc.d chart. It's so fucking close to throw in a rug like not seen before. It's going to be so glorious. https://t.co/yhGeMU6y8m I can't stop staring on the this btc.d chart. It's so fucking close to throw in a rug like not seen before.
