Bitcoin sees biggest drop since January

in #bitcoin6 years ago

Bitcoin is falling sharply today, in fact this is the largest drop since January of this year.

This chart is not for the faint of heart:

This drop is happening at a very bad time technically for those bullish the coin.

The $7k area was seen as a support that prices were expected to bounce off of in order to start the next surge higher.

Technical analysts from Fundstrat talked about it here:

So much for that chart...

Prices have broken out of the triangle to the downside, which usually means that lower prices are in store in the very near term.

That being said, if prices can hold up around here at $6,700 all is not lost. Also there is some support around the $6k area as well.

Though, to me it is looking like prices are going to need to wash out first before we start to head higher.

Unfortunately that may mean lower prices in the next few weeks...

Stay informed my friends.

I hope it will be a long bear market.

They made way too much money on the expense of whom?
On the expense of the suckers that bought this energy dumpster from them at extravagant prices.
People should cheer when BTC goes down and stay out.

This is a good time to buy bitcoin! It only takes a message about a whale on Houbi and many people are making panic sales. that's what's happening

It is interesting that bitcoin seems to be down just as much or more than some of the altcoins. Unusual to see that... perhaps that whale is liquidating?!

hope so ;)

Why is that?

i don´t like whales because they have too much influence on the courses.

sry i misunderstood you. my english is not the best. i don´t hope that the whale is liquidating

Is that what it is, or is that whale actually selling?

looked at Houbi and there was no big sales order. I think that's not the sale of the whale. looks like panic sales

last day there was a hack on south korea exchange coinrail.
will also be a reason for the course

what if it drops to 3k? It's all guesswork

It remains a gambling. But last year the Bitcoin price was under $ 1k.

Every day we are seeing bad news about Cryptocurrency. But It is right time to invest in Bitcoin. Thanks for sharing.

This is brutal :(

We need a Rally!!!

Well, hell. Looks like that "Sixth of the Month Pattern" thing was a bust. I ran the numbers on a couple of scenarios and one of them was a drop in BTC to $6,100 before it reversed. Hold on folks... this might get bumpy.

Agreed. That trend goes out the window. Not that I was thinking it was gospel anyways. I think $6k is going to be tested, probably by tomorrow.

Do not panic about the drop in Bitcoin's price. It is an overreaction to the news that Bitstamp, Coinbase, itBit and Kraken are being investigated for price manipulation. This will delay the bull market by no more than 30 days. Don't buy into the fear. Buy the coins.

Yea he has been saying that the entire way down. He may prove to be correct in the long run, but if people wouldn't have listened to him when he said don't sell when prices first dropped from $19k to $13k, they would have been much better off right now.

Coming from McCaffee, he is probably liquidating as he tweets and wants others to buy his share.
It does not mean that he does not want to buy back in at a lower price.

Personally I think bitcoin and other crypto went extremely high last year that's why. I think its trying to rebalance after such high inflation.
It might get to the 6k mark anyway but incase it gets there don't be afraid to buy.
I see crypto going up before this year ends.

@jrcornel thanks for the info.
Great love

This is proof that all those crypto experts no just as much as the next person. They look at the charts, read the tea leaves, and at the end of the day, it's 50/50. It goes up, it goes down. I just feel sorry for people that pay for these charts, or worse, pay for these experts advice.

You would have better luck reading the sweet corn in your morning dump

I think the thing to remember is that there are no experts in this industry. It's too new still. Anyone that tells you they are a bitcoin price expert is lying or trying to sell you something.
