Happy Tuesday Folks! Hope those of you in the US had a great time with family, friends, and fireworks. Speaking of fireworks Bitcoin attempted to get a little bit of a bang but it hit a hard ceiling and it is back under $20K once again. Are we nearing the end of this horrible bear market? That's the major discussion and no one can say for sure if we are or aren't but Analyst's sentiment is neutral to bullish.  At the end of the day Bitcoin is going to do what Bitcoin does and that is go up and down. Where you buy and where you sell is decided by you classification of an investor or traders. If you are an investor, Bitcoin is on sale. If you are a trader, you should read, watch, and listen for the signal on when to buy and sell.
