I frequent the BitcoinMarkets on reddit and about a week ago I posted that since everybody is so bullish and 100% sure that BTC will go to ATH and then head to like $25K or $50K or $300K, then most likely the opposite will happen. It will go close to $20K, but not too close and it will start to reverse. Which is pretty much what happened and guess what? My post was voted down because they called me a bitcoin bear.
One guy I think had like 1 BTC and he was saying he wasn't going to sell it until he could buy a house with it. When you read comments like that it should be a warning that there is way too much bullish sentiment and can get ugly fast, which is what happened. Way too many over leveraged longs and we went from $19500 to low $16K in a very short while.
Very well said, that's the real point, actually it's okay to be bullish as long as we aim for long term as most likely we will hit a new ATH after every ATH. To think that we can buy a house and lot with $1 btc, that's similar to saying that bitcoin will go to the moon once again, which is a no for me since it will only create some hype and then FOMO happens, but this time, the smart ones knows how to cash out in short term, so they won.
It is like a house edge to me lol
When you have lost 5 times and chasing your bet with 5x but before it hits 5x busted at 4x.
Well here people think bitcoin will go above 20000 usd easily after the surge move doubled from 9500 usd to 19000 usd .
But guess what , before it hits above 20000 usd , suddenly there is quite huge drop to nearly 16000 usd in just a couple days.
Those people who cashing out at the highest , knows how to run and deal with the market.
