The news just confuses me more often, also its got a lagged effect to it and some people know the news before others. I'm just noticing sustained weakness now, after we came so close to touching 70k. Right now today we cross below the weekly average, previously we looked to be challenging and then set to rise back but its resolved downwards.
News context for me would be the main markets selling off tech today, generally some reflection of less speculative sentiment willing to bid up prices. Its very general my take on news though, I do consider the whole of summer a quieter period.
There isn't really anything you need to be worried about, it is not really that shocking, when price goes up a lot that means there are people who are willing to sell to take profit, when they do that means all the long futures will be cashed out and when that happens all the stop loss will be hit etc etc.
As you can see, when it goes down even a bit, it goes down a lot easier because of many other stuff, it is like an avalanche so to speak, a small ball rolling could cause the whole mountain to come down, not saying that will happen, but it is not impossible neither and we need to be careful of that. This is why I honestly expect the situation to change a bit, and I am sensing that we are going to end up with a bigger fall as well. The trick is that, when it doesn't go down, and when it stops going down, just for a while, that means all the bear is done, and all the sellers are gone, and all the automatic deals are done, and we are ready to go up.
At that moment, we can go up so much more, hence why bitcoin always goes up on the long run, sure it goes down in between, but long term it always breaks its own ATH after a while. That's what I think will happen, some drops happen sure, but we will go up above ATH again.
