Last week, the price of bitcoin dropped sharply after Chinese officials announced they would be closing most cryptocurrency exchanges.
In the update we sent Friday, when bitcoin had dipped to around $3,000, I said this was no reason to panic, and definitely not a reason to sell. In fact, we called it a buying opportunity.
I noted…
The last time the Chinese government banned bitcoin, it reversed the situation after only a few months. And remember, China is just a single market. Cryptocurrency is global. I expect more announcements from China in the next few days. And they could very well trigger more selling.
But it’s important that you keep the big picture in mind. Following this correction, the cryptocurrency market will begin a new climb that will reach new highs.
The climb back up has already started.
Bitcoin is up more than 20% from the lows reached last Friday, and it’s currently sitting around $4,000.
As I suspected, investors left billions of dollars on the sidelines while patiently waiting for a major correction.
Even with the upward trend intact, remember that corrections will continue to happen in the cryptocurrency market. Take advantage of them by adding to your portfolio on dips.
