Price is 100% manipulated.
There is no Bitcoin in circulation, which means that Wall Street is determining the price while the NYSE is closed.
How do I know? I've been watching MSTR-BTC relation. BTC always comes back to the neutral price from the previous daily close of MSTR in order to make a discrepancy as small as possible.
Since there is a severe lack of retail investors, basically, Wall Street is using algos to force 15min and 1hr candles up and down in order to scoop some reflexivity one way or the other.
Since they are gambling with other peoples money, they have to put Bitcoin price back in place where it was once the market opens, so that MSTR or MSTR holders wouldn't have any extra opportunities to kill their positions.
It's a big club, and you ain't in it. But it's just temporary and their power is limited to 5% up/down + they can extend the sideways movement for some sustained periods of time like weeks, or in case of 68k, a couple of months.
This is just to earn money on option decay and option premiums, nothing more. They are basically scamming their own investors by showing the wrong Bitcoin price, because now they account for most of the market and they have good models of relation between actual capital inflows and price sensitivity (I have discussed this relation in previous posts).
So, we have to remain patient until they implode.
But there is no Bitcoin.
