Sea of Red as All Altcoins Drop (coin360) Bitcoin Bears Might Cry ‘I told you so’

Tone Vays a leading trade analyst comments that the ‘smackdown’ was ‘expected.’ According to him, it is still too early to call a confirmed bottom on Bitcoin. He would ‘choose to rather be late than sorry.’ Vays called that there is a possibility of further drop and a bounce back from $4000 levels.

On the other hand, firm Bitcoin believers like A. Pompliano, the Co-founder & Partner at Morgan Creek Digital, maintained their conviction towards buying and ‘HODLing’ larger amounts of it.

The rise on 2nd April was surprising as while the bottom in Bitcoin might have kicked, but the analysts suggested that fundamentals were still weak and a massive correction was possible. Hence, while Bitcoin seems to hold the $5000 level, it will be interesting to see if the traders ‘HODL’ more or seek to buy cheaper.
