1 Topic: BTC plunged more than 10%, the bull market ended?

1.1 BTC "Elevator Cry"

In the early morning of May 31, 2019, Beijing time, the BTC market staged "Elevator Cry". Take the BTC price of Huobi Global Exchange as an example. At 23:40 on May 30, the price of BTC rose all the way. In less than half an hour, it rose from 8730USDT to 9064USDT, setting a new high in the year, but immediately staged "Elevator Cry" After only 15 minutes, the BTC price was hit back below 8700USDT, and at 5:30 on the 31st, the BTC price hit 8010USDT at the lowest level before stopping the decline.

1.2 Why is it “plunging”?
BTC's short-term sharp decline has undoubtedly poured a cold water on the extremely hot encryption market in the near future. So why is this BTC "plunging"? We believe that the BTC's performance of the roller coaster market may have the following main reasons:

(1) The previous period is sold out. In the downturn in 2018, many investors were deeply locked in between 8,000 and 9,000 US dollars. In May, the price of BTC rose sharply, with an increase of about 70%. Therefore, when the price of BTC went up further, the price of the investor in the previous period was soared. Drastic fluctuations.

(2) Some investors took profits. The price of BTC continued to rise after about 3 months, and the short-term has reached a relatively high level. Some of the investors who entered the market earlier were full of profits and began to take profits.

(3) The technical indicators deviate and the price has a callback demand. In late May, a number of indicators such as MACD and volume showed divergence, indicating that BTC prices have a callback demand.

1. 3 The end of the bull market? It’s not uncommon for a bull market to “plunge”

In the general market, “popping ups and downs” can be described as commonplace. Compared with the traditional financial market, there is no price limit in the secondary market of digital pass, and the price fluctuation of the pass is relatively high. As a result, the “popping ups and downs” for the traditional market can be described as commonplace in the market. If the 10% rise and fall limit of the stock market is used as a measure of “surge and plunging”, in the past 6 years, BTC has risen and fallen more than 10% in a single day, and there have been 150 occurrences. On average, there will be one every half month. The skyrocketing and plunging, including a daily increase of more than 10%, a total of 81 times, a daily decline of more than 10% a total of 69 times.

“Climbing and plunging” tends to occur in the late stages of the bull market and the early days of the bear market. From the first two rounds of BTC's price cycle, in the BTC price cycle, at the beginning of the bulls' bears, due to the fierce competition between the long and short sides, the uncertainty of the future market will increase, so the price of the pass will often be within one trading day. Produces a large amplitude.

Whether the bull market "plunges" or the bear market skyrocketing is not uncommon for BTC. Take the bull market "burst" as an example. In the bull market, when the price is close to the interval of the accumulation of a large number of sets of the previous period or the impact of major bad news, there is often a concentrated sell-off, resulting in the emergence of a "plunge" market. In the bull market, the “plunge” is often quickly digested by the large number of buying discs that appear later. The short-term decline does not affect the continued development of the bull market.

UTC time May 30, 2019, BTC's biggest decline in the day (highest price / lowest price -1) is about 8.7%, if calculated according to the largest intraday decline of 8%, during the second round of bull market ups (second round of price cycle) The upward cycle is from November 2011 to November 2013. The data in this article only covers May 2013 to November 2013. The BTC price closed down and the biggest drop in the day exceeded 8%. There were 23 times in total; the third round of bull market rose. During the period (August 2015 to December 2017), the BTC price closed down and the biggest drop in the day exceeded 8%.

This round of BTC price up cycle has been opened so far, BTC prices have fallen and the intraday decline of more than 8% has appeared seven times. Appeared on December 21, 2018, December 25, 2018, January 10, 2019, February 24, 2019, January 10, 2019, May 12, 2019, May 17, 2019 Day and May 30, 2019.

It can be seen that the short-term sharp decline of BTC is not uncommon in the bull market. In the early stage of the bull market, the BTC price may be adjusted downwards for various reasons, and the concentrated “popping and plunging” even indicates that the market has entered the most. Crazy stage.
