All eyes on bitcoin at the moment, breakout imminent

Pump and dump coins. Those in the know and with the finances adjusting markets as they please.
Unregulated shïtscape where the majority lose.

4th rejection / fakeout there around $9160, hopefully break and stay above it shortly. Picked up a another few quids with this morning.

Very little support between here and $8100 or so, maybe one last chance before the halving to get in cheap yet.

Think another test of $9k is on the cards

Slaughter today! What's this and what are people's expectations for the next few months?

No idea, the market seems to be predictably unpredictable. After the Christmas 2013 crazy run, it took over 3 years to recover.

We still haven't hit that "psychological" mark yet, so I guess if nothing happens this year I'll be certainly putting money in by November, trying to preempt it. Again, all pure speculation and guesswork.

It's down 5-6% and nowhere near previous lows, I'd be praying for much more of a slaughter than that. Outlook just from chatting to people is generally positive, it has a long way to go before people are actually worried about their life choices. Which is what's wanted.

Mass adoption.

Only back to where we were 6 days ago, nothing to worry about. It's all technicals at this point, with a side of manipulation. Majority of retail are buying IMO.

64 days until the halving, feels like Christmas eve to me!

COVID-19 was obviously completely unexpected to be an issue to consider but it's definitely one now that will most likely impact everything

Nice dump there, still going on

I was expecting money to move from stocks to bitcoin as a safe haven but doesn't appear to be the case this time round. Seems everyone is keeping funds in cash that surely won't last. It's possible we'll see a big bounce as people put the cash into btc now the price is dropping?

With a recession expected, I was too to be honest

banie01

The last of my buybacks has triggered today from my sell out of everything a few weeks ago.

It's strange to see the crypto pile larger, but the FIAT value lower.

I'd pulled everything I had in equities from the market in December, intending to move over to crypto as the main portion of my portfolio outside of pension.

The market signals in the US have been running in conflict with underlying economy for a while and I was expecting a recession.
I was not expecting the shítstorm of Wuhan and Corona Virus nor the financial stimulus that the US has already started and Europe will be soon.

Interest rate cuts in US will be followed by huge federal spending IMO.
In Europe we have less scope to cut rates from historic lows, so it will likely be more QE in the medium term.

All those actions will deflate fiat purchasing power faster than anything else bar burning it IMO.

The crypto pile is back, I'm at @90% BTC and 10% alt but will be buying ETH as I can.

The road is going to be rocky from here, but if crypto genuinely is to be adopted as a store of value akin to gold?

It is now that we will see it happen IMO.

Wow, thats a big one

Good call

Sub $8k looks to be on the cards

Dohnjoe

Yesterday: "looking good, little resistance, could go all the way up"
Today: "Yup, nice drop, could be the last chance to get in cheap"

Lex Luthor

Bounced off the $8250

Positive sign

q85dw7osi4lebg

Bought at $8300, double DCA'd.

Lex Luthor

i think we will still see a sub $8k BTC this year, manipulation will be rampant post halving

Sfa volume behind that bounce

I’m not hopeful now apart from accumulation from further drops

There’s a CME gap around $7.6k so we might end up going that low

I’d rather the lower one filled as it will be always hanging over it

Fill it, then accumulate and move upwards and onwards

Grumpypants

13000 Bitcoin sold by plus token scammers behind the drop apparently. Once clear it should rally back. They estimate they have around 20k more to get through so expect one or two more of these once we tickle €9-10k again.

Just wondering whether anyone here can envisage a time when computer keyboards will come with the bitcoin “symbol”?

Probably start to be rolled out this year if not already. Not mainstream for 4/5 years yet IMO.

Are we talking an individual “key” or more like the € sign where you’ll need to use the “Alt Gr” plus another one?

The latter for now.

With S&P futures down now 4.44%, I don't feel so silly holding Bitcoin through the drops.

Massive economic crash incoming. Wonder how Bitcoin will react. It'll also probably crash hard in the short term.
