Is Bitcoin a Safe Haven or ‘Schmuck Insurance’? [coindesk.com]
Price Analysis Feb 26: BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH, BSV, LTC, EOS, BNB, XTZ, ADA [cointelegraph.com]
The equity markets sold off sharply on Feb. 24 and 25. Even gold, a traditional safe-haven has stalled its rally. On similar lines, cryptocurrencies are also witnessing a period of correction.
The total crypto market capitalization has dropped from about $308 billion on Feb. 15 to $248 billion at press time, which is a fall of about 19.50%. For an investor, this is a normal and healthy correction, which can provide an opportunity to buy or add to existing positions.
These Bearish Factors Show Bitcoin Could See Violent Movement Below $6,000 [newsbtc.com]
It now appears to be increasingly likely that Bitcoin will see some further downside in the near-term, with multiple analysts noting that this retrace may cut deeper before BTC finds enough support to start climbing higher.
There are a few simple factors, however, that seem to point to the possibility that BTC is about to see significantly further losses, which could send it reeling to fresh year-to-date lows.
The analyst says he’s looking for a spike in BTC buyers to signal that the bottom is in. Until then, he’s cautioning anyone trying to buy the dip.
“This volume on the buy back is pathetic. Funding still high. Hit a key support level at the 200 daily EMA, but this still feels weak. Just be patient with your knife catching…
How do we drop 7% and funding spikes for longs. This shit is not bullish at all. This means that price dropped and longs are paying MORE to hold their positions open. So people that are under water in their trade are paying a lot (up to .13% on Deribit and .05% on Bitmex). It’s the worst feeling, lol.”
