Bitcoin’s drop to $56,500 crushed bullish traders’ sentiment and took a heavy toll on altcoin prices but are generational buying opportunities emerging?
Bitcoin (BTC) sliced through the $60,000 support on May 1, signaling that the uptrend has weakened. While the fall has muddied the short-term picture for Bitcoin, the analysts remain bullish for the long term.
Traders latch on to every bit of negative news when the price action turns bearish. Investor sentiment received a beating on the muted response to the Hong Kong spot Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that debuted on April 30. Continued outflows from the United States-based spot Bitcoin ETFs for the fifth consecutive day also did little to soothe nerves.
Every bull phase witnesses sharp corrections, which shake out the weak hands. The lower levels give an opportunity to the long-term investors to add to their portfolios. However, it is better to wait for the price to confirm a bottom before initiating large bets.
