With the Fortress investment trust being announced, I think we're preparing for a major market movement in the coming hours. I wrote this thread on Reddit (not sure how it is around these parts, I'm still new!) explaining my reasoning behind the huge # of bitcoin days destroyed and this ETF getting announced. This might be a very very interesting new years. Apparently they will be announcing it at a Bitcoin conference tonight which happens to be nextdoor to the NYSE stock exchange...

This could explain the push that we've seen to $800, and some of the buy-orders that are starting to come through the exchange today. We're on a very defined uptrend right now...
