Remarks

We haven’t seen any significant indication that the price will turn around, while we do have indications that the price will continue its decline.

Taking a month long view we see bitcoin is down -45.33% or $-2682.17. The question is whether this may be recovered or not. Taking only the numeric component, historically this percentage amount has been easily recovered by bitcoin in numerous instances in its long history of volatility.

While some analysts believe there will be a “price correction” upwards, there is also the possibility that the $19,798.68 bitcoin we saw last December was manipulated – or a unique set of conditions – and the same set of inflationary conditions may not reappear, although others may – such as the finite cap on market supply. However inflationary influences are not present today and more declines – perhaps to the psychological barrier of $3000 or lower – are appearing to be likely based on today’s price outlook.
