A Flash Dump Or The Long Awaited Correction?

20240104_111330_0000.png



I don't know if I should call yesterday's dip a flash dump or a correction, but whatever it is, it's been a long time coming. Well, the market is reacting in ways it should, the ETF rumors have strongly become a trend and a strong indicator of how positive or negative the market is reacting. We started the year with the news that the ETF approval was four days away and just 2 days later, a massive rumor spread that we might not see the ETF approval anytime soon, BTC strongly reacted with a dump and the alts followed too.

It's funny

but we always know crypto to be firstly sentimental before anything, but it's surprising how people think it'll be so easy to approve the ETFs when there's no concrete evidence of anything smooth between Blackrock and the SEC. for all we know, if it were up to Gensler, we might not see any approval, but the way it is, we will inevitably see the ETFs being approved, the Only problem is the timeframe as it might be delayed more than anyone thinks.

I wrote in one of my posts two days ago that the spot ETF might be approved after the halving close to the end of the first quarter, and boom, two days later, we got a dump. I was merely playing the devil's advocate and stating an unpopular opinion. But with my current analysis, I might just be spot on.

I think there are strong forces away from market sentiment that currently want BTC to remain the way it is, or dump which is even better for them, why?

This is because I still believe a lot of players have not entered the crypto market and they're lining by the corridors waiting for a price dump to happen. One of the reasons why I think the spot ETF approval will herald a push to 50k and beyond for BTC is that it's been proven that a lot of people are banking on the success of the approval to prove that BTC will progressively enter the bull market phase. This to me is very erroneous.

However we haven't completely talked about the other adverse packages that come with ETF, the market sentiment is only seeing it as a catalyst to act as a forerunner to the bull market. I mean, everyone is emotionally hooked and obsessed with having the bull run so much that we do not believe the spot ETF is what will make it happen.

In reality, the sentiment attachment of the ETF's relevance is no longer being underestimated, even if 50% of the people who are currently clamoring for it do not know what it means, what it aims to do, or what it is supposed to influence.

Why not?

Of course, Do Kwon and SBF really did people dirty, and this suffering has brought about the feeling of deservedness of the bull market.

For me, this dump is not surprising at all, and anyone who wasn't expecting it is a fool.

The funny thing is, we might still dump to 40k or not, but it's definitely not a tilt into regression or the beginning of something fishy. We have left the bears, and anything from now onward is one step backward and 4 steps forward. The market is poised for a gargantuan run, but this doesn't mean there won't be dips here and there, the ETF rumors will also be there, contributing to dips, dump and push.

The flash crash yesterday caught me a little by surprise yesterday and I saw that it wiped out a huge amount of leveraged players. I am sure happy that I dont play with leverage and just buy and hold, riding these waves are then much easier.

Well, it also caught me by surprise. I felt it might happen later, but I also feel that I've been expecting it for quite a while, and since December. I think the ETF rumors yesterday aided it.

Just like you, I am also not a trader, just a market observer. Riding the waves is much easier Tbh.

Thank you for the curation

Totally agree, I notice ppl talking about ATH already and two friends all of the sudden start asking me what I think about ETH, I was like hold a sec ...then realize it was spreading, ppl were fomoing into the market, I always thought around 17k could be the bottom, miss it for a bit but its fine and at this prices it was crazy to jump in so it was expected and it didnt drop that much, considerable drops IMO are 5k and up, probably still another leg down before halving, still good times ahead ✌️🤑

People are truly FOMOing into the market. Wait till ending of the year or beginning of 2025, that's when the real FOMO begins. To be very honest, it might be too late at this price, but I'm certain it's still a decent entry point, considering the fact that BTC's ATH might enter 150k.

I was surprised ooh. Well, it does not mean that we may not have a pump this year though. I hope this dump does not last for long

It is a normal phenomenon to experience pump and dumps

I think it's more of a flash dump, given the source of the information and it's validity. The market reaction that happened afterwards gives us a glimpse of what could happen come next week when the ETF gets approved or not.

Yeah, could call it a flash dump because of the way and manner it happened and the circumstances that warranted the dump. However, it probably was expected.

In a way, I think crypto is a volatile thing. It moves up and down pretty fast. Prices don't really matter unless you are buying or selling. So I think it's best to ignore it for the most part. The FOMO/FUD is pretty crazy in crypto.

Yeah, except one's buying or selling, they don't really have to worry about price and all that.
