do you think that there is a correlation between the price of bitcoin and the news trends ?? I check the google news for "btc" everyday and I noticed that in the previous months when bitcoin's prices were dropping, the news were all grim and calling btc to be dead. however now that we are seeing a "potential" reversal (this could very well be a trap) I am noticing that the news are positive mostly.
so what I think is that the news are reflecting the "emotional" state of the market and what investors are feeling about bitcoin, and now for the most part it's positive.
News is one of the factors why people have different approach on a certain trend.
Depends on what type of news, it contributes well to the strategy of a trader on choosing which actions they will done whether to buy or to sell. But as you see in most of the cases, those news results you will see via your favorite online search engine are already an output, meaning the price actions already started and those news will just tell you what's should be the reason behind it. That's the reason you will see that whenever there is an uptrend, news are positive and vice versa.
As a trader, it's quiet a must to include news as one of the recipe in order to make a good analyzation on what to do next.
