Bitcoin enthusiasts feeling bearish, experts say the drop just might accelerate

Crypto expert and founder and partner at Morgan Creek, Anthony Pompliano shared a tweet regarding the market sentiments:

As crypto market worsens, optimists try to bring out their points as crypto enthusiasts come up with tweets like:

However, pessimist or realists, rear their ugly heads and believe Bitcoin price is going to drop down further. Bitcoin enthusiasts aren’t feeling at all good about the market right now as Tweets like these emerges:

However, experts are feeling the same as Bloomberg stated Stephen Innes, the head of trading for the Asia Pacific at Onada Corp. said the next key level for Bitcoin is $5,000. If Bitcoin fails to hold this and crosses this threshold, it might end up accelerating the losses.

A bearish trend seems to be in order according to the experts as Mike McGlone, Senior Commodity Strategist at Bloomberg says this is a bearish market and Bitcoin shorts are spiking. He also shared Bitcoin might fall to $5,000.

Whereas Bitcoin longs aren’t seeing much action, shorts keep on going up and up, adding  ₿7,000. Bitcoin shorts are almost to their all-time highest, betting for Bitcoin to go down.

Anthony Grisanti, a guest on CNBC also shared that the short-term market movement is pointing downwards.

Additionally, EU might also make a move towards crypto as Bruegel, Brussels-based think tank prepares a document for EU finance ministers to promote regulation of digital assets and ICOs as reported by Reuters,

“Now the possible expansion of the crypto exchange business in Europe and considerable interest in ICOs in EU countries, which account for 30 percent of the global market in terms of projects funded, is pushing regulators to take a closer look.”

Currently, the market is not looking good at all, with bears strongly positioned. And as experts point out another drop to $5,000, it is a possibility we just might see it but lately, Bitcoin has been going for higher lows, so it’s all wait and watch for now.
