Weekly BulletinHello folks. Last week wasn't particularly exciting. Lots of noise, not much signal (as per usual). Sensationalized articles were in full swing. We now know that Facebook is buying blockchain companies, Hamas is using bitcoin to fund terrorism, investors are losing money, and Brock Pierce is trying to rebuild Mt.Gox.

The consensus among traders seems be that the 3k support will be broken. When will it be broken? No one knows. Bitcoin could rally to 4.5k, and then proceed to fall below 3k.
