Fear & Greed Index Indicates Extreme Fear, Bitcoin Price Falls Below $40K
The plunge took place near the close of the day on September 21, with Bitcoin prices having drawn down by 16% from approximately $47,300 at the beginning of the day, to tag a local low of $39,650 at around 9 pm UTC.
The slip in the price of Bitcoin noted a 25% retracement from the recent high of Bitcoin above the level of $50K. This pullback comes after BTC gained over 80% since hitting the $29K mark on July 20 and since then, Bitcoin has recovered to change hands above $42K.
Mr. Whale, unlike other analysts, released a statement saying that the bear market is here. The official statement said that:
“The same maxi’s who tricked their sheep into buying their Bitcoin bags at $64,000, is now urging them to “buy the dip” and promising a huge rally to $100K. The bear market is here but they will never admit that because they would lose all of their followers."
