Did You Heed Mike's Call Ahead Of Bitcoin's Breakout?

A week ago Thursday (July 23), with Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) at 10.37, Mike Paulenoff posted a bullish -- and very prescient -- analysis of the stock in his Trading Room, noting:
"Coins are the least talked about market or investment vehicle lately, which is just the time when a sudden price move could come out of the blue to alert everyone that Bitcoin is alive and well, and is back!"
Mike predicted GBTC would challenge key near-term resistance from 11.10 to 11.95 en route to multi-month resistance at 12.50-13.00. (See chart below that accompanied his post.)
His timing -- and accuracy -- couldn't have been much better, as GBTC proceeded to run to as high as 13.20 three sessions later on Tuesday (July 28), up 27% from his alert.
Where are GBTC and Bitcoin headed next?

More Top Calls From Mike
Last Wednesday afternoon (Jan 13), with the IWM at 210.76, Mike Paulenoff told MPTrader members:
"The Russell 2000 Small Cap ETF is just about 0.5% off of its all time high. As long as any weakness is contained above 204.30, my near-term pattern set up from the 1/04 pullback low at 190.94 is poised for still higher ATHs above 211.73."
The IWM reached a high of 215 the very next day.
Back on Dec 2, after salesforce.com (CRM) reported strong earnings but price languished, Mike Paulenoff told MPTrader members:
"Weakness in reaction to the news has violated the prior significant near term pivot low at 228.66 (10/30), triggering the Bearish Scenario (Red line) that calls for a deeper correction that projects into the 220 area next, and if violated, to the 205 - 200 target zone.
On the evening of November 30, after Zoom Video Communications (ZM) reported earnings, Mike Paulenoff cautioned MPTrader members about the stock;
"My pattern work argues that ZM started a major correction off of its 10/20 all-time high of 588.54 into the 11/10 low at 366.28. The rally from the 11/10 low at 366.28 to today's high at 487.79 (+33%) to my mind represents an intervening recovery bounce prior to a second bout of weakness that completes the larger corrective process.
During late November into early December, Mike Paulenoff became increasingly concerned about the price behavior of Facebook (FB).
The stock not only was grossly underperforming the NDX but also was in the news constantly in an unflattering light regarding its leader, Mark Zuckerberg, and censorship accusations. Since early November, the NDX is up about 10%, while FB is unchanged.
On Tuesday morning, December 8, with AAPL trading in pre-market action at 124.64, Mike Paulenoff told MPTrader members to watch for more upside:
"AAPL is following a similar, if less exciting post-coil breakout price path than did TSLA one month ago. My attached 4-hour chart shows that since the end of the Sep-Nov coil formation at 112.59 on 11/24, AAPL has stair-stepped to the upside to this AM's pre-open high at 124.96 (+11% so far), in route to a challenge of the 11/09 rally high at 127.
