Do you think we've seen the worst of this dip for now?
Bitfinex cryptowatch shows the lowest deal on BTC for this time was 9,231$ which was just about a Fibonacci retracement (almost on point). I am not using TA normally, but I am considering it when thinking about the market. For now, it looks like the worst is over. This dip might be a healthy thing for the market, and CAN be the catalyst for another run-up.
What is your take on the situation?
I know the basics from technical analysis, and looking at the daily and 4h charts I would say that the market is still divided and we are not out of the woods yet. Bitcoin is holding support at the $10k, and every time it crosses that mark, it finds it's way back up, and this is a good sign. On the other side, it's facing resistance at $12k, so we need to see a break of that level, and then follow through so that we are sure that the recovery is taking place. Right now, I think the market is in equilibrium between those to levels, and it might stay there for a few days, before another break occurs. Only on that break we will see if we are "safe" or not.
For the long term holders nothing of this should be a problem though, because if we look at the weekly charts bitcoin is still performing very well. We had a big run, now we are having a pullback, and we will probably continue the uptrend.
