During accumulation phase large players will do anything in their power to spread fear and panic. And we are in consolidation phase for quite sometime already.

You're absolutely right...the sad truth is that they can always push a lot out, something that makes me wonder why people don't take a glace at BTC's history before quitting and hitting that sell button

And it's only harder and harder to bring enough fear and panic to push more people to sell.

Indeed. I think most people who hold Bitcoin now will most likely keep doing so, no matter where the price goes, so bringing more fear doesn't make much sense at this point

Based on my limited experience: whenever we reach level of total fear, then we're near the bottom.

I share the same point of view too

Thanks for reading and supporting :)
