Sadly I believe you are right. Anyway, in a year or two it may get up again, if you can wait that long you may have no worries if you are short on money you will have a lot of headache right now.Crypto fans will suddenly change from " bitcoin 500K$ soon" to "its going down its disaster bitcoin is useless".
And for those who do not know anything about charts and technical analysis, that is a perfect example of a chart that shows a parabolic (and very unhealthy) price rise before an eventual price collapse.
What I'm saying is a 30%+ drop is nothing new in crypto, not that it will keep going up foreverAnd for those who do not know anything about charts and technical analysis, that is a perfect example of a chart that shows a parabolic (and very unhealthy) price rise before an eventual price collapse.
It may not happen next week or next month, because no one can know the exact timing or the trigger for it, but a chart such as that one is often a harbinger of doom.
Well, it is now down almost 50% as of today's low. According to your chart, that is something new. I am not saying that the crash is happening right now, but it can happen anytime a trigger occurs (IMO, the most likely event is some type of serious government ban or regulation). So, prepare accordingly.What I'm saying is a 30%+ drop is nothing new in crypto, not that it will keep going up forever
Maybe crypto as a whole, definitely not bitcoin though. Take a look at the btc dominance chart to see what I'm talking about.Bitcoin is projected to become the asset that will cover at least 2-3% of the global economy...
You compare a weekly chart with hourly movements. That does not fly!According to your chart, that is something new.
I was not comparing charts or anything else. I simply noted that the maximum previous drawdowns of 38% were exceeded when the current drawdown reached 50% today. I did nothing more than state a fact.You compare a weekly chart with hourly movements. That does not fly!
You have to wait at least two more weeks to compare the current movement with the chart of @Jerry1911 . I have seen enough Ups and Downs in BTC over the years to tell you that the current downward move, albeit painful, is nothing extraordinary.
For all we know, Musk could be banking millions from every tweet, buying and shorting with every tweet - secure in the knowledge that the herd will move wherever he wants them to. He knows crypto investors are young and impressionable and because crypto is highly liquid - just like stocks - he knows that he can move the market within minutes of a tweet.Crypto space is too leveraged, once big long positions start getting liquidated, we see what happened today, a long squeeze, continuous long liquidations that keep pushing the price lower and lower. I really love crypto, but this year it's just become (most of it, not all) the unregulated playground for institutions and suits (and Elon) to play around and an attraction for people that just want to buy it because it goes up and up, but not understanding anything about it and then losing all their savings when it drops. But as I said, don't get me wrong, I love crypto and I own crypto but if it keeps being like this, future doesn't look very bright
Nobody can sue Elon for Market manipulation.For all we know, Musk could be banking millions from every tweet, buying and shorting with every tweet - secure in the knowledge that the herd will move wherever he wants them to. He knows crypto investors are young and impressionable and because crypto is highly liquid - just like stocks - he knows that he can move the market within minutes of a tweet.
Investors talk about timing the markets and anticipate the future ahead of the market to profit, but what Musk is doing is creating the future. He's the puppetmaster, and investors are his puppets, so let's not be naive in thinking Musk has nothing to gain from his tweets.
Musk didn't get to be one of the richest people in the world without a plan. He always has a plan.
This type of market manipulation would get Musk into hot water if he made careless or manipulative comments about Tesla. That's because the stock market is regulated by the SEC, which cracks down on this type of blatant manipulation.
Crypto, on the other hand, is unregulated and can be bought anonymously. As a result, Musk can manipulate the markets to his heart's desire without consequence. He knows this.
