we weren't in any serious bull market, it was only a shy attempt to reach the 300 mark, which failed even before the XT drama started again

or maybe it was a bear trap waiting for the right fud to hit the naive investors, either way bitcoin is not going to rise under these conditions

Bitcoin Price Chart – The Bitcoin bulls were thrashed as relentless selling by both the investors and the short-term traders pushed the price down to an intraday low of $221 on huge volume. $220 being a good base for Bitcoin compelled the short-sellers to book partial profits and also encouraged some buying.

Fibonacci Retracements – After failing to climb above the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement of $256.82, Bitcoin has retraced the complete rally.

Moving Average Convergence Divergence – The MACD, Signal Line and the Histogram have nosedived to -9.3884, -4.6925 and -4.6959 respectively.

Momentum – The extreme pessimism is also conveyed by the Momentum reading of -29.3900.

Money Flow Index – It is not everyday that you will see the MFI succumb to 6.9021.

Relative Strength Index – The RSI dipped in the oversold region for a brief period before rising to 31.4668.

Conclusion

As Bitcoin crashes to a 10-week low on huge volumes, market participants should only look to create short positions on rallies.  Resistance is now at $240-242.

And I hope, you have exited your longs.
