Bottom line: As I type Bitcoin is trading at $26,738.38 and for the week (M-F) Bitcoin lost $131.99; Bitcoin is actually stuck right? Mark my words - when Bitcoin does decide to move again - it's going to be violent. Which way? If I were a betting man (and I am not) I'd say north. Remember Fiboswanny projected the possibility of $48K in June.
My belief continues to be that no matter what happens I will be okay. Which means, have enough at play to move the needle if the market pops, have some dry powder if it drops, and remain calm and move on if it goes sideways. Keep buying the dip, be smart, stay safe, stack sats, and HODL as "Matty Sats" would say!
