We're on the weekend so probably the damage has been controlled as of the moment. But we'll see when the markets open on Monday and for sure that many aren't going to like that.
I hope so... Bitcoin managed to return to 57,800$ nicely and it's already trying to break the 58,000$ line. It's possible that on the next days we see Bitcoin reaching close to 60,000$ again, which is an important price range to retrieve the optimism from investors after so many negative news and the recent crash. Personally, I believe once the sales from Mt. Gox's customers begin, the market will see it's not going to be so devastating like it was expected once the news came into the scene.
So, the tendency is that fear of new crashes will cease, and more investors will start buying once again. The crash we saw was due to a psychological effect caused by fear, as investors didn't know how deep Bitcoin could fall, so they guaranteed some funds back into fiat on the short term. It's worthy to keep in mind not every investors can give themselves the luxury of holding forever. They have real life expenses and schedules, so the money they have invested in BTC has to be cashed out to fulfill such appointements from times to times.
I do hope that before this week ends again, we'll be able to see it back to $60k, if that's possible. But who knows how soon it is going to be.
It's a responsible measure to cashout before a large crash, so they can guarantee they can meet daily routine's debt.
For short-termers, this should be their thing. But for long term holders, we wouldn't mind whether a crash happens again.
Just flee, rest and don't look at the charts if it's hurting you so that it will be your mechanism to address your panicking heart.
Sometimes when the market is hit by a disaster like that I think it is necessary to have a distraction rather than looking at a portfolio that is red and very sad.
Leaving the market for a few days is the best way instead of constantly looking at the candles, it will give a little calm and not get a sense of panic, if you continue to look at the market, the possibility of panic will always arise and can make us want to sell the BTC we currently have at a loss, except maybe people who really think otherwise, that they need to get more BTC when the market is experiencing a significant decline like now, it is a smart move to do additional DCA.
Exactly.
We need distraction and that's why staying off from the market is what one must do. Don't look at your portfolios and never check the market, go back on it after a day or two.
We're on the weekend so probably the damage has been controlled as of the moment. But we'll see when the markets open on Monday and for sure that many aren't going to like that.
Monday will determine if the market can recover to $60,000 or if Bitcoin will continue dipping to below $50,000. We should not celebrate yet because we do not know what will happen on Monday. But I do not think we are going to like it though because I have a feeling that the selling will continue. The sudden dip has left many traders in shock including me. I always felt the market was going to dip but not to this extent. The fear spreading is a sell off coming from people with a large amount of Bitcoin and the panicking is still going to continue until they either sell or postpone their selling. Market is always slow during the weekend because some traders are not active in make trading.
Not yet for this Monday, it's closing to $56k and we're $4k away from it. Not a problem but as long as it won't go below $53k and $50k, we're fine.
