Bitcoin markets fell again during the trading session on Thursday, and on heavy volume. By breaking through massive psychological barriers, it looks as if the bubble has started to pop yet again. I think that this is a lake much lower and anticipate that there should be great shorting opportunities.

BTC/USD

Bitcoin markets fell significantly during the trading session on Thursday, breaking significantly below the $10,000 level, and it now looks likely to reach towards the $9000 level, perhaps by the time you read this article. Volume has been heavy, and I think a lot of stop losses have just been crushed. This is the 50% Fibonacci retracement level falling apart, and that is an opportunity to start shorting yet again. The $8000 level underneath is massive support, as it is a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. Ultimately, I think that rallies are to be sold, and I find it very difficult to imagine this market breaking out to the upside and going higher. For the most part, I believe that Bitcoin is done for a while.

BTC/JPY

Bitcoin fell against the ¥1.1 million level, on heavy volume. Ultimately, I think that we will continue to see sellers jump in this market, pushing it down to the 1 million level. If we break down below there, it’s likely that the market. To the ¥800,000 level next. There is high-volume on this move, and if Bitcoin cannot hold its value in Japan, it cannot hold it anywhere else. I believe that breaking down below the ¥1 million level is a significant occurrence, and I think at this point Bitcoin is going to be in a bit of a freefall for the next couple of days.
