Bitcoin Faces November 2018-Style Capitulation Warning from Leading Trader Amid ‘Massive Range Breakdown’

July 7, 2024

A seasoned trader is cautious about turning optimistic on Bitcoin (BTC) at this point, citing concerns about a potential crash reminiscent of November 2018.

Back in November 2018, BTC plummeted below $6,000 after being in a tight trading range for over six months. Despite the dip, Bitcoin’s decline continued until it nearly touched $3,000.

Pseudonymous trader DonAlt shared his views with his 568,000 followers on X, expressing his observation that traders seem overly eager to adopt a bullish stance on BTC following the breach of the $60,000 psychological support level.

DonAlt highlighted past experiences, stating that when $6,000 was breached, people rushed in to buy at $5,500, but the outcome was unfavorable. He emphasized the importance of waiting for a clear direction before making any moves.

According to DonAlt, Bitcoin has experienced a significant breakdown in its trading range after failing to hold the $60,000 level. He believes that Bitcoin will need time and confirmation to stage a recovery.

Expressing a cautious approach, DonAlt mentioned that being too aggressive at the current juncture may not be prudent. He indicated that there would be ample opportunity to capitalize if Bitcoin reclaims its range convincingly.

As of the time of reporting, Bitcoin is trading at $57,743, showing a 2.35% increase for the day.
