i think this month's worst and most ridiculous one was the dump because of banning of ICOs because it had nothing to do with bitcoin to begin with
and now this new one is out too!
i promise you that in about a week we will be laughing at those who sold at the bottom and not bought back.
i was stumped as to why btc reacted on the ico news too. notice we were at an ath, and also notice this always happens when we approaching/just hit an ath
well, if the rumors are true, we will be going backwards for a while. im still at a loss as to why they would release all this bad news in a row like, this, if "preserving financial order" is the aim of all these guidances/rumors. this has to be the absolutely most disruptive shit they could have possibly conceived.
now, if the shit does hit the fan, so to speak, im curious as to how much we will retract. not trying to see another gox slide, id rather it crash and stay down, rather that drip.
it will be a very different market, volatility wise, without China.
Be ready for more market movements, fud and news from beyond the Great Wall.
Last week, Chinese traders lots massive amounts of money by selling at $4,000, and BTC showed resilience. (Interestingly, the Chinese ICO announcement was released during labor day in the USA... )
Today is same old: they dumped... and the BTC will show resilience in the next 2 days.
When you lose money, you want to get it back.
So be ready for a shit storm of crazy news from China in September: the goal is to destabilize enough to reach $3,500 so that everybody gets their positions back...
