Hey guys,

So what headlines have you read today, trying to explain why Bitcoin and therefore the overall cryptocurrency market has sold off?

Some two bob exchange in Korea that nobody gives a fuck about getting hacked? How about the CFTC actually doing their job and trying to stop price manipulation on Bitcoin futures?

These headlines donโ€™t mean jack shit to price and youโ€™re kidding yourself if you continue to listen to the financial news cycle which is driven by sensationalising headlines.

The drop was caused by the following daily trend line break:

We canโ€™t use the excuse that weโ€™re in a higher time frame bull market anymore, because that above chart shows you that were clearly not.

That previous swing low support zone is all thatโ€™s standing in the way of Bitcoin and sub 5k prices. Yuck.

At least itโ€™s looking like price wants to obey the level. Take a look at the intraday price action:

You know the setups that I look for now. See you on Twitter!

If we follow a similar correction to the last big one in 2014, I'm calling $2,745 as the potential low - about an 85% correction from the Dec. 2017 high. That's still not a big deal. It will go higher again - we'll just have to wait a little bit longer.

Too many noobs thought investing in cryptos was going to get them rich, quick. 2018 is the year of reality: it bites. All this FUD is normal and the pain will only increase in the short-to-mid-term. Only those willing to suffer through the storms will realize their dreams in the end.

There is no part of the BUY LOW, SELL HIGH method which includes bailing out and selling when it's low. But, lots of people still do it.

I don't know if Bitcoin will go that low because then mining even becomes unprofitable. I don't think it will be allowed to.

Oh yes .. bloomberg .. forbes .. and all the thrashy news agencies are just cashing on this crypto rush!! They can be posting bullish reviews this hour and then a 180deg switch to a totally bearish the next.

Nice analysis!

Their 24 hour news cycle bullshit isn't just crypto.

Thank you @forexbrokr . At what price do you think Bitcoin will bounce going $20k again? Is the $3k dip in the next few months possible?

ย  ยท ย 7 years agoย 

Anything is possible...

I'm not going to make price predictions. Mark your higher time frame support zones and if they hold, trade short term pullbacks. Rinse, repeat.

don't you just love the reaosning that people give fro movements in price....AFTEr the price moves. The drop was because the buyers failed miserably multiple times an gave up the levels like above. There is no reason to believe this is ending anytime soon either. My targets are much lower as well!
