Houston, the rocket has lifted off the launch pad
Below is the same chart I’ve been publishing here on Steem since February. I think it is self-explanatory and it bottomed where I predicted it would.

I’m not 100% sure the lowest is behind us at $5850 in February, but the odds are increasing. I’m still confident Bitcoin will attain ATHs again by no later than Q1 2019
and probably before the end of this year.
EDIT 3 days later: price needs to break out above the overhead resistance downtrend line shown before I will be confident we’ve bottomed. Here’s an updated chart:

Apparently we broke this earlier.
You mean the lower the downtrend lines? But as of now, we have also broken up through the upper downtrend line.
Drop was apparently driven by news of four major exchanges being probed by the CFTC.
Appears this triangle will close by August. The lowest we can possibly go is $3000, but looks like we’ll stay above the $5850 level and break out to upside of the flag triangle by no later than the end of August and at the earliest the end of June.

This slump is good as it showed the inventors that Bitcoin is not invinsible, we all need to put the best efforts to make it last forever and keep it heights.
But investors should be informed of everything regarding the cause in rise and drops of value of Bitcoin
Any updates on the bitcoin price Anonymint?
Essentially I’m thinking (and Armstrong and others have mentioned) likely bounce in July or August, but it is uncertain after that whether we go lower to $3000ish or head upwards for an ATH in early 2019. The two scenarios both seem possible, but maybe I’m leaning more to the bearish scenario now.

As for the bottom this week or in July, I’m thinking $5500.

Wouldn't 5.5k invalidate the 5.85k feb bottom?
