speaking of resistance, saw a headline today that the person who posted the video of LK99 levitating has admited it was a hoax |

PeterL |
billymg: does that mean that if it goes over 31600 we shoot to the moon, or what? |

PeterL: yes, unless it's a fakeout, then it either dumps back down or continues to range around here |
