TUSD/USDT continues to pump, BTC is pumping... Whether or not I'm correct about the uptrend these signal that now is NOT the time for leaving a Short to linger. If you're going to Short then plan solid Sell, Buy, and Stop Loss prices and stick to them. If you want to risk a Short at an expected BTC peak then first considering waiting for the Tether pump to stop, dip, or slow down. As of this update, TUSD has reached $1.035 (Binance) and USDT $1.0027334 (calculated by TV, Poloniex). The 15 Oct BTC pump that was blamed on Tether opened and peaked, respectively, on Binance at $1.0434 and $1.24 and as calculated by TV on Poloniex at $.99983331 and $1.01826083.
IMHO the capital now pumping Tether comes from the same source that pumped it on 15 Oct: US Index Funds. The Indices continually dropped several days prior to 15 Oct. Similarly, the Indices have thus far dropped a few consequentive days, and I expect for them to continue downwards for a while longer (e.g., until SPX reaches $2475 - $2266. See my SPX idea linked below).
