Bitcoin Just Keeps On Sliding - Where's The Damn Bottom?

Bitcoin's Bottom

The ass seems to have fallen out the Bitcoin market again, and as I type we're currently testing the 78% Fibonacci retracement level, as you can see here:

Clearly I've been too soon on trying to pick the bottom, but I'm still new at TA so that's not too surprising. It's always wise to wait for confirmation of a trend change before jumping in, because just like tops, bottoms can be tough to pick.

Where Is It Though?

As already mentioned above, the first key level is where we are right now, as the 78% retracement line is currently offering support.

If that breaks down there are 2 further support levels, followed by one scary scenario:

  • $8000-$8250 is a support/resistance area (I forgot to mark the $8000 level above)
  • $7500 is the next support line if those two levels get breached
  • A full retracement to around $5800 is possible if those level fail to hold too...

I'm not going to guess at which one of those levels we finally see the bottom forming, but I was watching a Tone Vays video earlier where he mentioned the $7500 level as a potential bottom. I'm sure this is a guy you've heard of, and he's been doing TA far longer than me! So that could be a key level to watch.

Here is that vid if you wish to watch it:



I'll be keeping an eye on it as always, and if you've got any links to your analysis or thoughts on where we could be heading? Feel free to drop them below!

I would guess the free transactions on Bitmex are being taken advantage of to manipulate prices.

Interesting, I hadn't heard about that @briggsy!

I have started to buckle my belt in case the fall is strong but especially when the inflection point comes and the vertical rise starts

Hang in there @beiker! :-D It's been pretty strong already, that's why I thought the end might have been coming... Oops!

Yeah I'm sure it'll reverse at some point, I don't think "the bubble has burst" or anything.

That literally is a fud because I’ve listened the true words of Arun Jaitley ( I’m an Indian) people started panic selling from then . HODL will save our asses now .

What's a FUD @pranithreddy? I'm not sure I get what you're saying, sorry! :-D

FUD (fear uncertainty doubt ) is generally a rumour or false news that prevail in the world that let the market down.

I know what FUD is, I was asking what you thought was FUD?

remember the wolf of wall street, but when there is blood on the streets
