There's Something Happening All Over The Crypto Market: Bitcoin Surged to $7,700 In Less Than An Hour

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

At first, I thought Coinmarketcap had an issue with their price feed (happened before), because the charts were looking, all of a sudden, incredibly bullish:

But then I looked for other price sources, and Coindesk is known for generally showing a lower price than CMC. Well, surprise, surprise:

So, something BIG is happening in the crypto market. It may be Soros moving the markets again, it may be the tax season is almost over in US, it may be the most unlucky fat finger in history (triggering an order of few hundreds of millions), it may the biggest bull trap ever, or it may be some news that we don't yet know of. Fact is the price spiked dramatically.

One of the consequences of this Bitcoin surge is that STEEM spike is now abruptly balanced - every time Bitcoin price surges, money flows from alts to BTC, and most of the trading is done by bots these days, so it looks like some algorithms were hit:

Even with this sudden correction, STEEM still has gained more than 10% in value in just a few hours.

Let's see how this plays out.

Indeed... only big players can manipulate it that way... anyways we were expecting this bull run to start after April 17th... It looks we had under estimated the power of Crypto's.

Playing out pretty well so far and its still the first day. Steem now up over 25%. Sweet...

Trully :D someone saw insane amounts of shorts and decided to rekt them.

Totally bonkers @dragosroua. Interesting to see what's at the bottom of it though. If we'll ever know. 😁

It's both scary and exciting, but we'll never know till it comes. :)

I really hope this all goes up, but maybe it stays this way a couple more days, because I really want to buy more crypto at these prices :))

Well it is about time haha! We have been HODL and waiting for so long and I am hoping that this continues from EOS to even Mithril are all up!

Interesting times. I wonder what is causing it.

Which just proves that TA in crypto currency is just day dreaming, crypto is moved by pure manipulation, you can't predict that, all of these curves and waves and resistance levels are not worth much when what decides what will happen is the pumps or dumps made by a few people.

this time I think is the Rockefeller ))))

Pretty crazy rise....I keep re checking thinking its going to come back down. Keep holding everyone :)

Who knows. I'll take another few months of insane bull runs if that's in the cards, lol.

More great news coming soon...Is the summer here? I hear that these prices Spike in summer .

This is what crypto is all about

Rising of BTC bullish is still unknown, but glad to see it is going well. Hopefully London crypto show will do wonder for steem:).

An increase of about a thousand dollar in just an hour. Some good news for today. There are reports that the Russian oligarchs actions must have resulted in this.

@dragosroua if you held some EOS would you sell before the Air Drop of eosDAC on April 15th ?? And if you would sell why would you ??

I do hold some EOS, but I won't sell. Please be warned, that this is not trading advice, and you must do your own due diligence. Stay safe!

hi
sorry for typing this here

please can you add this button
here is a picture , it might explain better

I just saw this 30 minutes ago and was thinking about posting on it... What could have caused it? I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

i know it's will happen all just to wait and buy and sale in the right time
this is not the first time this is happen and not the last time

the bulls are coming!!!

There was a lot of waiting for today. We hope they get up a little ...
I have so many beautiful Litecoin waiting with anxiety !!!

I so glad to see that can't wait to come back to the good old days when BTC was over 10k

Actually I was expecting (and dreading) seeing this a couple days now. There has been a lot of mainstream media hype of crypto over the last few days. The Soros announcement. Then Stanford adding a crypto something or other. Then some other major players buying into crypto. These things have been happening, but suddenly they were newsworthy, all right around the time tax season is wrapping up in the US.

I was hoping it would be a couple weeks out, since I'll have considerably more money I can invest then, but I could feel it was coming sooner once I saw all this reverse-FUD.

Wow what a great move. i wish BTC improve more.

Indeed there's a surge. I just check and i confirmed it. WHat a time to be alive. Can't wait to see how this all plays out

I saw it, i made a comment on your last post telling you about it, and all thanks to steem supply

There is a lot of height
Wow really is very wondrous

Atleast things are looking up now. Hoping for more rally upwards.

Crypto is also known as crazy coin ;)

A meterorite hit..Crypto the bold knight

Let's hope it's not a meteowrong :)

Fingers crossed then...

It just good great news for us steemians...

the next bull run started quickly it seems like that :D
