The leading cryptocurrency today crashed yet again and went under $8,000.

The last time BTC was at this level was in early June.

Trading volume meanwhile, has come down from over $2 billion to just above $1 billion, as per Messari.

Crypto fear and greed index, meanwhile, has dropped down to extreme fear, recording a reading of 12. The index is constantly sliding to a new low, from 41 last week to 15 point yesterday and even lower today.

The index shows a value of 0 to 100 with 0 meaning “Extreme Fear” and other extreme is defined as “Extreme Greed.”

When an extended period of consolidation breaks its range, one should expect a large move to ensue immediately, followed by continuation.

That's what technical analysis is for.

One would think crypto speculators learned that from 2018 and avoided getting run over this week.

“Extreme Fear can be justified as there is still significant downside risk. We will likely see a coordinated attempt to Buy Blood across multiple TFs.”

said CT trader that goes by Mr. Anderson.

“If these TF's get overextended w/o making up much ground. (M30, h1, h2) Pros will flip & more PAIN will come,”

he added.
