People before now do think news moving prices was mostly particular to currency and stock trading maybe but then it turned out that as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are beginning to gain more adoption and recognition, the news about them begin to have a direct effect on the market because people are begining to react in that direction as to whatever it is they hear about these assets at almost every time.
That is true but the news is only having short term effect more than long term effect. News or without news, bitcoin is going higher in long term. If you hold and there are bad news, the price of bitcoin may fall but what you will still later notice is increase in the price of bitcoin in long term. News are better more for traders.
