Inside Bitcoin's Recent Surge - Is It Time to Buy?
Is Bitcoin back? A recent price surge has taken it to levels unseen since the highs of January 2018. What’s behind its resurgence? And most importantly – is it time to buy Bitcoin? Here are some factors to consider before you decide. Read more: What is Bitcoin?
Embrace Volatility
Bitcoin is inherently volatile. Exciting rallies and stratospheric climbs are typically followed by equally swift selloffs – sometimes within minutes. After enjoying gains of almost 40% over three recent trading days, for example, the 24-hour period from June 27-28, 2019 saw the asset decline from $13,800 to $10,500. A.I.-powered Crypto Day Trading Patterns give you the information you need to predict and respond to market shifts as they happen.
This trend has played out time and again – 2017’s boom meant a growth of 1,400%, followed by a correction of 74% over 2018. Traders must be comfortable with the ups and downs and large price swings that define Bitcoin and other digital currencies. Tools like Tickeron’s Pattern Search Engine help traders track price movements and patterns that anticipate shifts in the market before they happen.
Bitcoin Has Become the Most Reliable Digital Asset
By mid-May 2019, Coinmarketcap.com data indicated that Bitcoin had captured 60% of the digital asset market share – a 7% increase from January 1 of this year. Bitcoin enjoys more-developed infrastructure than other cryptocurrencies, and that foundation seems to be translating into increased confidence from investors. Its gains have significantly outperformed its closest crypto counterparts, while even significant losses were less than other coins in the space. Artificial Intelligence from Tickeron can spot trends with Bitcoin, then send alerts and trade tips directly to your inbox to try and realize those gains.
Maturation Means Greater Stability
Bitcoin is maturing, increasing stability and investor confidence. Bloomberg recently reported that three factors are driving the shift: greater awareness and understanding of cryptocurrencies from academia and traditional financial institutions means it is being taken more seriously; likewise, the evolving space is less beholden to fraud, and investors are beginning to discuss Bitcoin’s “futurity” rather than past performance, which can bode well for positive price moves. Tickeron A.I. offers recognition of 37 different types of bullish and bearish patterns that attempts to predict those price moves before they happen, giving traders a leg up.
External Economic Factors Look Positive
Bitcoin has gained traction for its security as a store of value in turbulent economic times. Two recent factors – interest rate cuts from the U.S. Federal Reserve, plus ongoing spats between the U.S. and China over trade – have sent some investors looking for assets that promise relative stability during the economic tumult, including Bitcoin. Investor confidence is also up after Facebook announced their own cryptocurrency, Libra, with Bitcoin prices increasing as a result. These details indicate that it may be a good time to buy – use A.I.-driven data from Tickeron’s Cryptocurrency Pattern Search to find out.
