I probably need to check Reddit for suicide hotlines to get a good grasp of market sentiment lol.
Its good indicator, but there can always be more pain.
"So, Tuesday was a bad day for Bitcoin. Within hours, the original cryptocurrency plunged in price from roughly $13,000 USD per 1.0 BTC to just over $10,000—and that’s down from an all-time high of $19,000 in mid-December."
Article is called:
"A Suicide Prevention Hotline Was the Top Post on the Cryptocurrency Subreddit Yesterday"
https://www.vice.com/en/article/wjpkgn/bitcoin-price-dip-suicide-hotline-redditIt was way above the real bottom of 3300$.
Speaking of market sentiment:
According to fear/greed index we are in extreme fear / fear since 27th of November. There is really not much more to go down. Price is very oversold. Not as much as during may-july 2021 dump but we are close to that.
Despite the fact that we broke major support at 40k we still hold inside this falling wedge:
Which is a bullish patter with price target of 69k.
The only thing that I'm afraid of is global market situation and possible big (>30%) correction of the biggest stock index. This will trigger panic sell that wont be stopped even by 30k support.
I saw this falling pattern too but as you said on your final note. It might be break since most of the people is already in panic mode due to this heavy sell pressure happening right now. This kind of dump is very scary since the price movement is very fast for a short period of time. This only means that people already losing trust to crypto that's why most of them are already taking profit or loss without having consideration on the price.
This is sucks but a perfect buy opportunity again to our favorite crypto that already overbought for a long period of time.
