The cryptospace appears to be beginning to spread bear market irrationality. According to this clickbait news, an up and coming analyst that hides behind its twitter account name Financial Survivalism, bitcoin could drop to $800 if it fails to surmount a declining trendline at $4600.
I reckon the people who controls that Twitter account should talk to the now rational Tom Lee for advice hehehe.
Also, this news might be a scam effort to gain more followers for that account which might also be controlled by newbtc.com. I might also be irrational in this, however hehehe.
In any case, who owns newsbtc?
I would say it's a typical analysis posted by a so called "expert" in bitcoin price speculation, in a bear market.
Who the person that is posting this is honestly irrelevant, but technical analysis can be manipulated in different ways to produce different predictions to support a person's narrative, and can even create the illusion of authority in predictions. And I think that this is what is happening in a lot of these media outlets covering bitcoin price movements.
I simply don't see bitcoin going down to three digits any time soon, the fundamentals of bitcoin has only changed for the better since the ATH in 2017, and there is no reason to panic so hard now just because the sentiment of the market is bearish. The demand (especially institutional) for bitcoin will likewise pick up drastically when prices do fall through $2-3k, which would suggest a sizeable rebound before prices ever get to that low.
