BITCOIN A SAFE HAVEN ?

By Profittrader | MARKET SIDE | 18 Feb 2024


The crypto  space is on a buzz as Bitcoin ETFs within the first trading month set a new record as the fastest growing ETFs in the history of the US market, with asset worth more than $3 billion . This makes most investors  believe  that Bitcoin might hit  one million  dollars  in the coming future. Bitcoin  surpass the 50k price and build  up within 51k and 51,700 dollars as many investors  are becoming  more speculative. The hyppings of Bitcoin ETFs and the coming halving surrounding  the crypto  space as attracted  non-crypto investors into The ever growing  crypto space.

  Robert kiyosaki  highlighted to is 2.5 million x followers important view that gote crypto communities buzzing.

              WHAT AS KIYOSAKI  SAY ?

The  economic and financial  guru, Rober kiyosaki  as added another perspective on the crypto market  by urging  his followers on X (formerly  known as Twitter)  to buy bitcoin and forget the "fake money system ". In his words he sees the average  saver, and government workers/ employees as "losers". Really ? Looks like a plus to the crypto  space, as he added that his followers  should invest in what he call "safe haven assets". which he pointed Bitcoin as one.  Well that was great to admit. But should  there be many investors jumping into Bitcoin investment than of Gold, what happens with Gold market ?  Well a thread to be weighed, as we carefully do.

            MY EARLY MORNING CALL

Just in a tick of time at sharp 6.35 am, Matthew  Anthony a friend  and a follow market analyst  called, as he  dragged  my  attention  to Bitcoin  slowly  replacing Gold in  investment and financial  market. "I think there will be more Bitcoin investors than  of Gold what do you think ?". I pondered on it for some seconds, as I replied, " Gold as been long viewed  as a store of value due to its scarcity  and durability just as Bitcoin". Over the years gold as been a safe haven and valid means of investment  and safety against fiat currency devaluation injected by excessive printing and government economic  mismanagement. Gold has a long history  as safe haven, and every financial investors (both institutions and individuals). However, things as change. We are in  a global digital  world where technology as taken over lightening  us into the a breath taking possibilities, with the emergence of digital money Bitcoin, which as a far more usecase than Gold. Gold was, and it's never  transferable, Bitcoin  is transferable, Bitcoin  is divisible, durable,  verifiable  and also very scarce. Bitcoin offers much more opportunities  to traders, investors and crypto participant in different levels.  Going by  expectations and positive comings with what Bitcoin already achieved,  it is of no doubt  that Bitcoin coin as certainly  outperform Gold and win.  ( am not suggesting  that there will be no more Gold investors. My indications are that Bitcoin offers much more than Gold. I believe it doesn't suggest  a total replacement. However, should there by total replacement, it is as  to individual investor as touching  their investment decisions  and want).  Considering The ever growing Bitcoin price and scarcity, bitcoin is the safe haven of our days

 BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO GOLD IF MORE  INVESTORS SHIFT FOCUS  TO BITCOIN?

 Every happenings in financial market  are opportunities. As there come more investors, buyers and traders with Bitcoin,  Gold will drop in price to excite buyers and investors. Understand that financial market changes, we as analyst can  only make predictions, but can't cause them to happen. As Bitcoin becomes more costlier, market changes  over time, and not everyone will love to buy Bitcoin at  a particular price, ( according to individual financial level of investment).  As Bitcoin, as an  investment  asset increases in price, the buying power of  certain classes of investors decreases, where as some other buyers  will not love to buy Bitcoin  at  a particular price. (Not like they wouldn't  have, but the more the price of an asset increases, the more the purchasing power decreases) leading to a shift in the  market to the interest  of Gold.

 

 WELL NOW STORIES ASIDE, HOW IS THE CRYPTO MARKET DOING ?

     Bitcoin successfully  hit $52,000, but looks like it's  moving or consolidating within  the price of  $51,000 and $51,700. Bitcoin is greatly doing well. But wait "nick",  there is something  have been observing recently. Why is Bitcoin at $51k  and $52k, but  litcoin and every other alt coins ( aside from Ethereum that is pushing well)  are still struggling  with their initial prices without making good  highs ? When Bitcoin was at the price of $44,156 in 06,December,2023

Litecoin was at the price of $74 in that same 06,December,2023

Litcoin chart

 

Even with other altcoins, made good highs. Bitcoin pulled back, causing  every other crypto  to  dropped in price,( as Bitcoin controls the market) litcoin dropped  to $68 and $69. Now Bitcoin  as broken through  to highs of about $51k and $52k , but litcoin is still struggling within the price of $69 and $70.33 ( including with other crypto tokens) 

The chart below shows Bitcoin at the price of $52300 in 15,Feb,2024

Including  every other altcoins.

Is someone reasoning this with me ? As someone  been noticing same lately  ? Well probably  this must have been on your mind right  ?  Well this is what have  been going on behind you while you kept pondering WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON ?. 

                           THE SECRET 

It's painful  when expectations doesn't  happen speedily  especially when there are every reasons why they should happen. Well the truth is, the big boys (institutions and professionals) are buying  or accumulating, so in other to keep things simple,  they use  a strategy  usually called (actually I call)  buy and hide strategy, where they accumulate  gradually  in large  quantity, while placing  a sell limit order with a very huge amount to prevent the price from shooting up rapidly against  their buys. Note, their sell limit order will not be triggered, ( or sometimes might  be triggered to push the price lower). It happens this way; as they accumulate or buy, the price of Bitcoin tends to kick up, so they initiat a  limit order at Price that might  never be filled, but has a powerful effect in the market, pushing  the price lower to maintain  a level of control over the price, so as not to cause  a quick  and powerful  uptrend that that could activate a crypto market bull run before  time. So with that strategy, they could control the price of the asset as they gradually  accumulate.  Now one will ask, why as Bitcoin hits $52k from what price it where ?, why didn't  the strategy maintain  the price as at what price the accumulation started ?  Well, the financial market is full of manipulations, so what happened is that, the buying momentum as driven  Bitcoin from what price it where ( let's say for example $30,000)  to $52k  with a kind of manipulation strategy that keeps the crypto market in control so as not to drive the prices  of crypto asset so high which could cause an early bull market before  the major one, and so they try to keep things simple. I hope and believe that my explanations are clear enough  nick ? Aright.  I appreciate  your time reading this post. If you what to follow up market  analysis, please check  on this blog  daily.
