Here is the reason why bitcoin tumbles in the first few days of bakkt
1. Rumors
while others are positive in the launch of bakkt some people are spreading negative rumors everywhere to pull the price down
note: I don' know what this people wants but surely they want to make profits or tho buy a lower price bitcoin.
2. Panic/
Since rumors are spreading all over now , more traders specially the new once panic and sold their holdings fearing bitcoin will go down quickly.
3. News
the most powerful tools in the world is news specially now we have the internet ofcourse news easily spread im sure you know that they don't care if its legit or not they are going to publish it no matter what, so it also give big impact to the readers specially the traders.
While the community do its best to educate everyone still we can't blame them for selling what they have because at the end of the day they don't want to loose a lot.
its not bakkt that pull down the price I see the graph myself and its not really connected, its really what we are thinking as a trader
Don't get me wrong but, do you really think retailers drove down the price of bitcoin? I mean, that sounds innocent.
Something that could be credible was that there were too many people with stops below the $9000 mark. That showed up the invisible liquidity that was waiting to be unleashed.
Also, the "Whales" are cashing out heavily how anyone could know that? look at the money flow graph courtesy of coinlib.
So 1.92 Billion on volume only in Bitcoin and only by retailers? (Whales laughing at this)
Bakkt hasn't had any effect on the price in a while, the last movement I saw "that maybe was drived" by any statement or movement made by bakkt, was the drop from 6K$ to 3.2$K, so it's something we need to have out of the equation.
