Yeah, its sideways but what can we do? a retracement had happen because of numerous rejection to the $19,500 price and no new ATH. And it is reported that around a billion worth of bitcoin of futures contract get liquidated. This liquidations happens every 4th of the month, every 25th if I'm not mistaken, so obviously the price did go down at a rapid phase once liquidation started.
So I'm thinking that:
(a) we can bounce back from this dip
(b) it will continue to go down hard
(c) could trade sideways again, until another imminent break out and then march towards a new all time high
I'll prepare to see the price trading sideways, Why? so that at least everyone should not expect a massive spike on the price again. And then we have plenty of opportunity to buy the dip. The thing with a massive run is that when it goes down again, many are going to be REKT, specially those who buy at the top.
It seems though that the bleeding has stop, and the support is holding very nice at $17k.
So let's wait in the next 24-48 it everything has cool-off and expect the price to go on sideways.
