Sold only 10% of the bitcoins? 90% left to boost profit/options in the future? ""Higher regulatory credits, lower taxes, and bitcoin sales buoyed financial results.

Very little demand for this product?? Well we dont get stimulus checks to buy options for here in Europe but i think we are also interested in options "tastytrade Trading has been very strong, with the tastyworks brokerage business accelerating its rate of active account growth in 2021 and reporting a 100% increase in the number of active trading accounts during the month of February 2021 versus the prior year period. The strong performance in brokerage is mirrored in the tastytrade education and content business, with registrants growing by over 100,000 in the two months to the end of February to nearly 1 million. This performance reinforces the strategic and financial rationale of the tastytrade acquisition, creating a strong foundation for the business to deliver future growth" "Our planned US acquisition of tastytrade is progressing well and the outstanding client growth delivered in the period underlines the further, significant growth potential of this business" https://www.iggroup.com/investors/regulatory-news

Dont know much about EWT but it looks like some kind of ending diagonal? "An ending diagonal is a special type of wave that occurs primarily in the fifth wave position at times when the preceding move has gone "too far too fast," http://www.elliottwave.net/educational/basictenets/basics2.htm

The BOA bull and bear indicator must be close to 8 (or 10)? 210215 "As Goldman Sachs’ positioning indicators show, over the past few months, investors were positioned more and more aggressively, which leaves no margin for error, while put-call ratios are at historically low levels and have no protection left." "This aligns with Bank of America’s Bull & Bear Indicator, which has now reached 7.7, putting it in code red territory." https://citywire.ch/news/boa-bull-indicator-hits-code-red-with-record-equity-inflows/a1465707

I wonder if the DAX acting like a rocket has something to do with that chinese guy went belly up?' some kind of risk off and unwinding (leverage) shorts?

Well, its not rocket science If a punter with negative balance protection buy a stock on margin and IG buy the stock to hedge the bet, what happens if the stock go down to zero? And if IG takes the other side (not hedging) and the stock goes up 200%? Add then whats happens when the market "crash" (flash crash) and everybody tries to sell the same stock at the same time Its all about risk "“Retail investors are such an important part of the financial markets, but until now have largely been ignored because they tended to buy and sell in isolation,” he warned. “Now they are gathering together and realising how much power they have as a collective. GameStop will not be the last share traded in this way. Interesting times ahead.”" https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jan/30/how-gamestop-traders-fired-the-first-shots-in-millenials-war-on-wall-street
