Bitcoin could 'consolidate until 2022' after mass wipeout sends BTC price to $41K

$2.5 billion liquidated across cryptocurrency in a mass rout which sends Bitcoin price action back to the end of September.

Bitcoin (BTC) traded near $47,000 on Dec. 4 after a sudden crash confirmed bulls' worst nightmares with 22% daily losses.

Crypto liquidations pass $2.5 billion

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD hitting local lows of $41,960 on Bitstamp — its lowest since Sep. 30.

As panic set in, leveraged positions unwound and traders capitulated, 24-hour cross-crypto liquidations passing $2.5 billion.

"$50k is likely to be resistance for a decent amount of time now unless stonks to incredible things," filbfilb, co-founder of trading platform Decentrader, summarized in a fresh synopsis after the move.

"Size of dump & distribution likely to mean consolidation into Q1 next year. Moon mission is not dead but some will think cycle over."

The scale of the dip wiped out some important support levels, including Bitcoin's $1 trillion asset valuation — previously a popular choice for long bets.

As Cointelegraph reported, concern over traders' behavior was present as recently as Friday, as data showed that the market could easily be overleveraged at previous levels nearer $60,000.

With that leverage now all but flushed out, optimism among familiar faces remained, with Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe announcing the sub-$42,000 spike as a "bottom."

"We're still in a bull market," he added.

Bitcoin meanwhile just avoided an attack on $40,000 support, something which would be a reason to "flip bearish" should it form weekly resistance, analyst TechDev said.

"Wait. Relax. Market will reveal," he told Twitter followers.

"If cycle bull phase deviates substantially from history, expect any bear phase to do the same."

Ethereum preserves strength on BTC pair

A small silver lining came from Ether (ETH) on the day, which neared a rematch of its highest levels since mid 2018.

Price analysis 9/15: BTC, ETH, ADA, BNB, XRP, SOL, DOT, DOGE, UNI, LUNA

Buyers continue to scoop up Bitcoin and altcoins on dips, a signal that there is strong demand at lower levels and that bullish momentum is building. Bitcoin ( BTC ) is leading the recovery in the crypto sector and the cryptocurrency briefly rallied to $48,429 on Sept. 15, before pulling back to test the underlying support levels. While speaking during a live stream at the SALT conference, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said that Bitcoin is the default currency of the crypto space and could rise tenfold in the next five years . Her projection is based on the presumption that Bitcoin will find a place in the balance sheets of many companies and institutional investors will increase their allocation to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to about 5%. Several legacy finance companies have realized the growing demand for digital assets and are increasing their crypto offerings to fulfill that demand. Morgan Stanley recently set up a new crypto-focused research division “in recognition of ...
