the flash crash is another correction for the price even if it is just happening in a second but it makes people get panic. we can see again in the future and we need to be prepared and the best thing here is we can buy at a lower price because, after the flash crash, the price is back to increase again. many people want to sell their bitcoin when the price is in high price so they can prepare to buy bitcoin again.
Yeah, this is exactly how people want to play with bitcoin for the avarice of higher profits. However if everybody continue holding, bitcoin might have crossed $13000.
For now, the price is not recovering, it just lowered to $9000 and going down at bottom in 24 hours i think. But no worries, bitcoin is great in returning to its normal state.
We can expect surge again possibly only after a large decrease as whales will not pump until they see the right time
If you look at the past big "crashed" which are the China-crash in september and the recent BCH attack then one thing is amazing:
Bitcoin seems to come out of any crash with a subsequent explosion in rise. I call it the "phoenix effect"
So please, if BTC wants to crash to 500$ today - please go ahead.
The answer will be 30k $ tomorrow.
