Bitcoin bulls see 2020 similarities
As outlined in the newsletter, BTC/USD bounced from the $28,800 lows, stabilising on Wednesday after a day of significant volatility. At the time of writing, the coin trades above $33,300.
While the widely regarded unnerving price action did not convince everyone that the bottom was in, it frames the dip as a secondary capitulation event, possibly exacerbated by negative news from China similar to the $30,000 flash crash in May.
For the senior market strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, Mike McGlone, there was little reason to revisit a long-term bullish outlook on bitcoin despite the news.
McGlone argued that the $30,000 price point was just like $4,000 after the 60% price crash of March 2020 — a “line in the sand.”
“Selling Bitcoin around good support & similar dips below most means as about $30K this year hasn’t ended well, and if the key question this time around is whether it’s different, we see a more-enduring bull market,” he explained.
