Since 2015, Bitcoin's low of the year was always in mid-January

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Déjà vu? A pattern seems to repeat each year. Each year since 2015, Bitcoin made the low of the year in mid-Januari. Coincidence? According to some people this is because of the Lunar/Chinese New Year. Perhaps money is flowing back to fiat to buy presents, plane/train tickets and so on. This year, 2018, the Chinese new year is on Februari 16.

Thank you. This report makes me relieved and I believe the future of Steem again ^_^

This analysis is really intersting, and you found it.

Don't think the past really matters. Humans can find patterns in anything.

most of the top comment are self-voted, is this a trend?

Interesting read! I hope it will go up very soon. WOuld be something if it trippled from here going forward to Q4 and than rallying up to 75K.

Yes, I have seen many similar thoughts, and and analysts associate this behavior with the Asian New Year. This year it's February 16, probably you have to forget about growth until March...

Still giving good chance to buy more

Bitcoin in 2018 (so far):

I was wondering what is going on. There's no real news instead many new investors joining. I hope the patty repeats itself.
