Bitcoin in the News : 2024 Full Year & 2024-12 More++

Once again, just as in last year's post Bitcoin in the News : 2023 Full Year & 2023-12 More++ (January 2024),

The first half of the post will be the annual composite chart showing the bitcoin price charts for all 12 previous months.

The chart source changed for June (2024-06).

Since I wasn't yet familiar with the tools for the chart service, the chart for June is the full year starting August 2023. The vertical red lines in that chart mark the month of June.

Bitcoin in the News : 2024-12 Price

Last month's price post, Bitcoin in the News : 2024-11 Price (December 2024), recorded one of the most dramatic monthly increases in the history of bitcoin. To quote that post,

Bitcoin's price jumped from $69.632 on 1 November to $96.939 on 1 December. That's a rise of almost 40% in a month.

As the following chart shows, the price held for the month of December.

Next week I'll do a post on the price changes for the full year 2024.

What was the reason for the rise? In a word: Trump. I should investigate the reason(s), but I'm afraid that -- as always -- I'll have to put it off until another time.

Bitcoin in the News : 2024-10 Price

In last month's price post, Bitcoin in the News : 2024-09 Price (October 2024), I wrote,

Next month I'll look at some of the options on the chart.

First, here's the chart for October.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Index

The upper left corner shows the current price & percent change (daily?) and is updated frequently. The upper right corner shows 'USD' and offers a total of 15 currencies.

Above the chart:-

• '+' : 'Compare or add symbol'
• '1h' : choice of three time periods
• formula : 12 options for chart type; default is 'Baseline'
• 'fx indicators' : around 100 'Indicators & strategies'

Below the chart:-

• choice of six time periods; default = 1 day (?)
• calendar icon : 'go to' date [incl. 'custom range']
• UTC time, updated every second
• three toggles for % / log / auto

In the bottom left of the chart is a small 'TV' icon. It links to TradingView - Track All Markets (tradingview.com).

Listing the options is just a start. Discovering what they do is the next step. The 'custom range' feature on 'go to date' might have been useful for the earliest charts when I forgot to take a snapshot at the beginning of the month, e.g. Bitcoin in the News : 2024-06 Price (July 2024). And what about those chart types and indicators?
