Apparently, this momentous occasion – if one can even dignify it with such a term – is to occur “in a matter of days.” Days! As if time itself bends to the will of the market.

Bitcoin (BTC), the darling of the crypto tavern, is drawing more eyes than a hat with a mind of its own. Technical indicators-those fancy charts that make mages look like amateurs-suggest it might leap toward $105,921 if it can reclaim the $94,555 resistance zone.
