Few days back I was this close to buying BTC when it was around 10k, but halted for some reasons. Now I see the price is around 8.6k and I wonder why the sudden downwards trend! I see no major news out there (or maybe the statements of mr. buffet and gates?). What could be the reason and how dip the price can go?
the Buffet + Gates news was a failed FUD which came out a couple of days ago. it is a failed one because price didn't move a penny after that but the media was filled with the bullshit all the same.
the price is still above the lower buy support so i still wouldn't consider this a considerable "drop", but just a testing of the bottom support to see how the market reacts. it is possible that some whales weren't satisfied with the amount of bitcoin they had accumulated so they had to do something about it and make some short term profit and gather some cheaper coins at a good discount.
