It is not the new thing here. Bitcoin price is volatile it kept on changing up and down, I agree it is the time to buy more coins because price is low now. A big increase in the price of bitcoin is expected in the near future.
But wont investors be more nervous the closer it gets to Segwit? Wouldn't that theoretical have a bigger impact?
Just guessing, the hard fork take over last time had a big impact from what I can remember.
I think this is just normal of Bitcoin. The other week bitcoin was at this price then it goes up and goes back to this price again. This is what we called high volatility. Wild fluctuation that attracted lots of day traders since they can book big profit from this price changes. I am surprised that OP is still surprise about this kind of price changes in Bitcoin. And about ETH it goes down because it should since ETH had form a bubble and seems this bubble burst.
Yeah, well I'm not very active any more. I try to read up on the market when I have money to invest. Everything I have in BTC is very long term.
I have two roads
1. Buy now
2. Wait and see if the Segwit will have any impact
