Well regardless of the reason it was a short squeeze for sure. Question is where do we go now.. do we push up and out of the 8400 massive resistance or do we go back down again for yet another position trade? I want opened a small short position at 8100 but a tight stop at 8351 . I'm more hesitant than normal after this surprising candle. I know charts in a lot of ways measure human sentiment over anything else, but what is this chart really telling us? My heart wants to break up and go for the 11s but my brain is telling me here we go again down. I'll put my money where my brain is but my hope where my heart is. Hope my heart wins.
The current market is no longer fomo but switched over to FUD. This causes BTC sideway.
1. The first is Altcoin is increasing. It will increase the BTC slightly, as many people will buy BTC to buy altcoin.
2. As altcoin grows, sharks will sell altcoin as they have been buying bottom prices for a long time. They will transfer altcoin through BTC. Then pump the BTC to take profit.
=> The market is going up slightly so sharks take profit from BTC and altcoin. Then the market will continue to bleed.
This my opinion
Sharks want to kick of old people out this market who have have had much experience ( FUD, not fomo ). They will putting bitcoins on low prices for long periods of time. Then they raise BTC prices to add the newbie with fomo mentality to the market.
