Black Friday Crypto Crash! Are All Cryptocurrencies Going To Zero?
Peter Schill and the Health Ranger are finally right. They were right all along.
The cryptocurrencies have all crashed and are headed towards zero.
It was only a few days ago I commented that almost every cryptocurrency was in the green. Today was the exact opposite.
Cryptocurrencies hit an all-time high of $652 billion just a day ago and on Friday they hit a low of $423 billion for a one day loss of 35%.
They have since recovered to $540 million.
Bitcoin hit an all-time high just above $20,000 on December 17th and recorded a low at Coinmarketcap.com on Friday of $11,833 and is currently just above $14,000.
That means bitcoin has slumped 40% since its high to the low and is currently 30% off its all-time high. Overall, bitcoin has fallen further than the rest of the sector quite dramatically in the last few days.
But, wait, are Peter Schill and the Vitamin guy right? We are only down in the neighborhood of 30-40%.
Bitcoin has actually fallen 30% five times this year already. So, on average, this happens every two months. And, during previous drops it was followed by an increase of 76%, 237%, 183%, 165% and 152% before it dropped again.
And here are past major drops going all the way back to 2010:
So, is this latest drop all that extreme? Or unexpected?
In fact, it wasn’t unexpected at all, by us here at TDV.
TDV’s Senior Analyst, Ed Bugos, put out an alert to subscribers (subscribe HERE) on Thursday warning of a pullback being imminent, saying, “We could easily see prices fall back to $13,500. The primary bull market trend is intact above $12,700, which is the last highest low.”
Less than 24 hours later and bitcoin hit Ed’s target low almost exactly. And, as you know, I have been suggesting taking profits on bitcoin and the cryptos since bitcoin soared over $15,000. And Ed reiterated that in his alert yesterday, saying, “we still highly recommend rebalancing your portfolio and reducing your crypto exposure a little."
So, we will see how this most recent pullback plays out. In this interview I did today with Rogue Money I discuss where things could be headed.
For now, this looks like a completely ordinary pullback after a massive run higher. And, a healthy and needed pullback at that.
Perhaps bitcoin and the cryptos are giving everyone an early 30% off Christmas present. If this was Black Friday and it was 30% off DVD players at Walmart, millions of American sheeple would climb over each other to get it. But, when cryptos are 30% off? For some reason, people have the opposite reaction to retail goods and they are too scared to buy.
For all those who had been waiting for the dip to buy... this is the dip.
And, on December 24th at 12pm Eastern time I’ll be revealing my next cryptocurrency pick to TDV Premium subscribers (you can subscribe or upgrade from Basic HERE).
It has fallen about 30% along with all the other cryptos in the last few days… so, if that doesn’t change by Sunday you may get it at a bargain.
For now, HODL on, everyone.
Most people buy DVD to use it. But they buy crypto to sell for more.
So if the DVD is cheap - they love it. But if the price of savings goes down - they paniking. What if it will cost even less?
Common misconceptions lead market to this panik runs up & down.
Yo ,
Very interesting read, Thanks you for sharing it!
Indeed a dip is healthy. At the previous high you know that one day there have to be a correction. Now we can look out for a new ATH again, that is way better.
how do you feel about the declining bitcoin price.
and how your prediction of bitcoin in 2018 will come,
whether decreased or otherwise,
What is your opinion?
I was expecting this dip due to the holidays. I think Bitcoin was to high in a short period of time. I do believe Bitcoin will go up next year and reach new high. That's my Opinion.
This was expected calm the fuck down people
Right.
I have been expecting a dip to around $6,000 per BTC by January but I am starting to feel better about the short term and the longer term. Thanks for putting this stuff into perspective.
Please please holiday baby jesus let us see a $6k btc as an entry point to crypto. Tried to scramble to fiat together to catch the dip and was prepared righttttt as it bounced most of the way back up. Gimme dat $6k even temporarily!
I would say they are here for a very long time to come
It's better than a black friday sale in my opinion, Jeff!
people actually die getting trampled just to buy a tv.
I believe everyone at some point in their life embraces the ideals of anarchy. Some people for only a few hours, others for a life time.
As far as people not being able to see the paradigm shift, I believe people become so invested in something, that they cannot believe that something better could take over.
Panic is primitive mode of our mind. People that are not calm inside panic all the time, including this. Peoppe crypto's will go up all the time with small dips like this, but in the end of year it will be big plus.
everything go up must come down, i look at it as a healthy correction.
