Well, what were you expecting after an over 85% rally in these past two months?

This may have taken us all a bit by surprise despite expecting to see this coming for some time now, but it’s a Thanksgiving sale, and buying the dips is the only option.

Bitcoin started breaking one level after another, from just above $10,000 to a new 2020 high of $19,500 just yesterday. And much like BTC, altcoins have been having a wild time.

Recently, Ether went up to $620, and XRP was reaching for $1; everything was simply exploding higher and higher, approaching their mid-2018 highs.

Add today; the market has turned a deep red just like that.

oh wow, bitcoin selling off during a period of time where us markets will be closed, its almost like its done this 3 times in a row now lol

Bitcoin started dropping and didn’t stop until it made its way to nearly $16,300, but the pain isn’t over yet as this 17% crash could further extend into the weekend.

At the time of writing, BTC/USD has been trading around $17,000 with a real trading volume of around $6.68 billion.

Just yesterday, crypto exchange Kraken reported an all-time high volume of $1.4 billion, with $480 million in Bitcoin, $400 million in XRP, and $198 million in ETH. After yesterday, today is going to be another big day for exchanges.

XRP recorded the biggest hit of 25%, falling to just under $0.50 level and Ether to $505.

Today’s biggest losers include Super Bitcoin (-56%), Bankera (-41%), Verge (-37%), ZEN (-32%), KIMCHI (-30%), Zilliqa (-28%), and CRV (-25%).

These deep losses resulted in wiping out $70 billion from the total market cap.

However, still, a few cryptos are recording gains: the notable ones are PumaPay (+56%), Ontology Gas (+53%), and CREAM (22%).

Here's your Thanksgiving dip.

Hope everyone buying dips not tops.

Bears, however, aren’t done with Bitcoin and, by extension, altcoins.

During the last bull run in 2017, the market had an average of 30% retracements nine times; such a pullback will take us to under $14,000 this time.

As Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, noted yesterday, “19.2K was a technical magnet and biggest near-term test for Bitcoin. That was the time to be super bullish. This is the time to be cautious.”

According to him, the largest cryptocurrency could slide to under $15,000.

“Conditions are very massively overbought and bound for a correction,” said Vijay Ayyar, head of business development with crypto exchange Luno in Singapore. He expects Bitcoin to stabilize and achieve an all-time high, but a large drop would follow even that in the prices for the cryptocurrency.
