Opinion Of Other Analysts
Other analysts think that it is like a blip on a road. Mati Greenspan, Founder, Quantum Economics, speculated that this correction is already bottoming out. He also added that a pullback of 17% is kind of tame for the current stage of this cycle.
Lark Davis, Crypto personality pointed out that the support levels didn’t require long to stop this correction at $16,500. He asked whether this is the dip or if we are venturing lower?
“Mayne of Tather”, a Crypto trader addressed his over 70,000 followers on Twitter that this pullback will create some beneficial buy-in opportunities regarding altcoins. Another trader called “teklordz” believed that this retracement was essential. The daily RSI has been receding to the mid-level territory. He believes that the upcoming pump would be even stronger than this one.
Data from Santiment, an analytics platform, indicated the rampant profit-taking amongst Bitcoin holders, with both long-term and short-term Bitcoin holders having profits of 63% and 15% respectively.
