While both groups of investors buy and hold Bitcoin, those who consider it a technology stock panic sell it during a market turmoil and buy physical gold. “We don’t need them,” Ki Young Ju said. He gave the vision of Satoshi Nakamoto, the Bitcoin creator, to the community as an argument: “BTC should rise in tough times — that’s Satoshi’s original intent.”
According to Martinez, BTC is now forming a Rising Wedge pattern, which often reverses and ends in an asset’s decline (in the case of a Falling Wedge, the price would reverse to a surge). Therefore, the analyst warns of a potential breakdown toward the $51,000 level even if Bitcoin could climb to the $56,000 or $57,000 level from the current trading point at $55,172.
In an earlier published tweet, Martinez wrote that, amazingly, despite institutional investment in Bitcoin reaching a definite all-time high, market sentiment remains in the zone of “extreme fear.”
BTC has begun to recover after the 18% plunge experienced at the start of the week. The flagship crypto crashed from roughly $60,000 and gone deep down below the $50,000 level on Monday. By now, Bitcoin has managed to recover approximately 11% of the lost value and is changing hands at $55,253. Overall, the losses suffered by Bitcoin between Friday and Monday totaled almost 24% as BTC collapsed from the $65,300 zone.
