Bitcoin Price Cynicism Pulling Us Down

Bitcoin price is under the control of the bears. Cynical sellers are pulling us lower according to their sense of Bitcoin’s value. Bitcoin Core is 100% censorship resistant and will never go away.

From the analysis pages of xbt.social, earlier today:

A drop lower closes the 1/4 size position Buy trade at $380 (Bitstamp)

The drop is interesting because it did not achieve a new low – well, that may still follow later – and price has halted at a longterm supporting Fib trendline.

If price can maintain position here, we may see a surprise reversal to the upside, as happened in September last year. In this scenario we need to wait for price to maintain altitude before we think about trading again.

If price continues lower, that will be both disappointing and grim, since the next Fib line down is near $300 and may spell a period of consolidation down at previous support. Let’s hope this is not the case.

Now for the wait.

Summary

Even now, Silicon Valley echoes to an empty reverberation as Coinbase and other US companies seek to propagandise themselves as indispensable in the Bitcoin universe. For them to change a bitcoin or convert a dollar, they have to sock it to the fiat bank, so who tells them what to do?
