I think TA is telling much more than the fundamentalists sometimes claim. Chart patterns are just representations of market participants emotions and if some very reliable pattern points to something, we should consider this something even all fundamentals are against it.
Short term I speculate on rally to $10k but overall situation is that Bitcoin had found general consensus about lower price bound, which is $5k to $6k. We have similar situation in 2015 ($200 to $300). This is a significant improvement in value.
For me this is two most important fundamentals and I give a shit to this news based fundamental stuff. News and use of statistics mainly are used for public opinion manipulations conducted by big market players who have influence on media. They use this influence for seeding fear, concerns and all kind of FUD among more emotional sensible traders to empty their pockets in the process.
