In institutionalized markets, we often see patterns of up and down, up and down, verses more free markets, in which we see large bull trends followed by disastrous bear trends for some. The more popular the asset, the more swings we often see, as people play a tug of war to win Bull or Bear.
As you can see in this long-term Daily Chart, RIOT has had two weeks of a solid uptrend, followed by slight sell-off, and consolidation near the top. The bottom lies around the golden figure of $22 USD.
In the shorter-term to medium-term charts, I see little room to move up on the top, with Bitcoin once again reaching resistance at $41,000, and massive downside potential. For the monthly chart, we are at a monthly high. Warren Buffet would recommend to sell the overbought monthly high for a weekly profit.
Technical indicators show we are overbought, and due for a slight-to-moderate correction. For the yearly, we are still in a downtrend for both RIOT and BTC, with highs far, far away.
The push up in RIOT is likely due to its earnings coming out in two days. Days before earnings arrive, the stock anticipates positive or negative earnings, and rises unexpectedly. Most of the price action commonly occurs before, not after earnings come out.
Don't buy the hype. Markets feel ebullient, with SPY at all time highs, making a 38% gain in 1 year, but much of the country is truthfully in a depression. Banks just lowered interest rates again, making savings accounts useless. Many other modern countries having savings with a rate of 8%, more than the typical gain per stock market year. US will have a harder and harder time existing on trillions of debt and even Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can't save the monster of debt US is lugging around behind its warguns.
For myself, I'd rather sell resistance, and buy major support.
Ask yourself, too: what is a bit of coin? What is a bit of money to you? A bit of coin to Bank of America is $10 for quarters. That is the maximum amount of coin they will give you. Now think about a billionaire's motive: what is a bit of coin to him? This man has never had to live paycheck to paycheck, does not know the real value of money. To a billionaire, a bit of coin is $100,000. To a multi-millionaire, they often spend $50,000/month on housing and other expenses. At least, that's what I've seen with my own eyes, with real people millionaires.
If Bitcoin continues to go up, its ultimate DARK SIDE comes out. It will have the capacity to inflate all assets. In my city, food prices have doubled in many restaurants since BTC reached 60k. Apartment prices have gone up at least 10%. Many people want higher Bitcoin, but it may destroy USA. USA is known for little inflation and fair prices to be united. You have to be a citizen first, and Gordon Gecko of greed second.
