Bitcoin is playing in a quite different way than in previous history. We have always seen Bitcoin reset before a mega pump. But this time we are witnessing the rapid growth of Bitcoin. Today we experienced a yearly ATH hit of $64K and a dump again as well. I have seen Coinbase users encounter a bug and see zero balance on their account. That's why people became panicky and dumped from $64K to $60K again. However, Bitcoin is still pretty strong due to ETFs and new investments.
Most likely, after this rapid growth, a price correction might follow. So there is still nothing new with how bitcoin moves. It might take differently but it will still go back to its basic. The important thing here is we don’t panic after a price decline. Old investors might not see any problem but with new investors, this will really put their faith for bitcoin into test, but end up selling earlier so they can avoid too much losses. Volatility is bitcoin’s nature, so expect that we will witness price fluctuations any moment from now.
This is the most likely scenario, while I am happy with the profits I can see on my wallet everyday, at the same time this kind of growth cannot be maintained, the upwards movement is too steep and a downward movement must follow it, but while we have endured movements like those before, I am sure there are many retail investors buying bitcoin for the first time that are about to get burned hard once that happens, and I do not know if they have what it is necessary to keep holding their coins as they will be going through an immense pressure to sell their coins and cut their losses.
Yup I agree also about corrections, there will be corrections, look at yesterdays flash crash from €64k to
€58k in less than an hour which was more than likely a move to liquidate the long trading positions.
Its a dangerous time for new investors of first time buyers, when the market rises or falls rapidly there
will be FUD and FOMO and when the market moves the other way there could be more FUD and FOMO.
How high do you think it can go?
Well $60k is done we are looking at the market closing in on the ATH. Interestingly we have never hit the
previous ATH before the halving! after the halving is a different matter, there are calls for $100k and beyond
but there are many threads about that and "how high it will go" already
