"There is nothing new in Wall Street. There can’t be because speculation is as old as the hills. Whatever happens in the stock market today has happened before and will happen again" -Jesse Livermore. Despite claims that millennials are the most purpose driven generation, history shows they have failed to overcome the traps of speculation and investment. From the Tulip bubble(1634) to the Gold bubble(1980), we saw the psychology of fear and greed in market prices. Just when it seemed investors and traders have learned, then came the dot com bubble(1996) which was followed by the Real estate bubble(2008). In the middle of the financial crisis in 2008, A new technology was born, with a promise to end all financial crisis and restore trust to the financial system. Despite its disruptive and use case, we have found ourselves once again in a bubble which raises the question, "Have we ever learned from history?"
I will argue that yes we have. The fact is, regardless of the disruptive nature of any invention, markets eventually run ahead of reality, greed kicks in and then comes the dip. Bubble are arguably healthy for the ecosystem as it eliminate the "dump money" looking to get rich quick. They also create Technical entry points for long term investor. But how do we know when a market has bottom?
History has shown that most market crashes are likely to bottom at 75% dip on just below. Stock market traders use market sentiment charts to measure this. For stock trading, when the market sentiment index scale(0-100) reaches or drops below 25, it indicates a buy signal. Looking at the BTCUSD chart, price fall from all time high to $5000 or slightly below indicate a dip of 75% which shows we are left with 25%. Cryptocurrencies are a highly volatile asset class and thus, its very difficult to pin point the exact momentum to which the price will reverse. This for what it is, will serve as a technical point for a major reversal together with fundamentals at the given time.
