Why are you all so bothered by bitcoin price ?10 Jan 2021 20:36
Bitcoin had already risen from $15,000 well before ARB blew the doors off only last week ???
Some carp being talked about on here , absolute BS.
Last weeks drive was based on US demand for ARB shares. As there were very few holding in the US and ARB were at the start of the week declaring a full US listing , people like me could see the ONLY place the US can buy stock is off London ! Last werk was F all to do with bitcoin tbh.
Once the US demand levels off then yes you will see bitcoin having much more of a hold on the ARB sp.
Last week was the perfect storm. New listing, few shares to buy, demand my x times availability and bitcoin going up making ARB look attractive.
As bitcoin had already risen way higher by early to mid December , then why the huge rise only last week ?
The bitcoin addicts , gamblers and traders will call it other things, but last week was simple Supply v Demand.
In Feb most of the current posts will then be relevant but not to account for last week.
The week coming up could well be pretty choppy, but with new extra mining capability and results expected to be very good for Jan / Feb I can see any fall being profit taking NOT bitcoin related after such a fast sharp rise. It would be weird if it didn't happen ? Any drop though I feel will be bought back in to mainly by the US as the build their stock holdings up and UK investors bank profits.
The last week of Jan should see the sp around these levels if not way above as investors get in for the best set of results based on this new capability , first time out.
Mining shares do not just go up and down on the oil price nor will ARB just go up or diwn based on btc. That means ignoring external events and that would be daft of investors not to factor in either good or bad external events ?
