Triggered by a strengthening U.S. Dollar Currency Index (DXY), the cryptomarket in tandem with the commodity and equity markets declined. This decline continued till BTC met stiff support at $10,135. Consequently, BTC set an intraday high of $10,795 on Thursday before beating a retreat.
BTC/USD Daily Chart
Bitcoin historical charts reveal that in 7 instances out of 11 from 2010 in the exclusion of September 2020 which is yet to be concluded, Bitcoin lost traction in September.
In a recent data compilation by Arcane research, BTC plunged by 9%, 6%, and 14% in September from 2017 to 2019. Although it’s hard to conclude this statistically as data from 2010 and 2016 may be less relevant due to less Bitcoin’s popularity and smaller trading volumes but history seems to be rhyming.
The 2018 selloff was noted to begin in October after BTC traded sideways in September. In September 2017, BTC was engulfed in a bear trend which broke a long streak of green bars, while in 2019, it was part of a long-term decline from the peak reached in June.
This year 2020, recent reports indicated that September has been the highest month of funds moved to exchanges since March. Exchange inflow directly represents an increase in selling pressure across the market.
Meanwhile, September 2020 selloff was intensified by post-pandemic effects. IntoTheBlock’s IOMAP model exposes that the Bitcoin path to $12,000 will be challenging.
ETH, LTC, XRP, and ZCash share this peculiarity as seen in similarities in their prices from way back 2017. Litecoin is presently trading at $46 whereas, in mid-2017, Litecoin (LTC) traded at $33, down from its ATH of $365.
Ethereum (ETH) traded at $340, slightly below its present price of near $355. In 2017, Ripple’s XRP exchanged hands at $0.27 while its recent price of $0.24 is just slightly beneath this figure.
Zcash (ZEC), on the contrary, traded at $331 back then. Its recent price of $55 is a far cry from this. Though it may be hard to say whether these cryptos will ever reach these peaks again, it may be gainsaying that history has been fair to provide buying dips wrapped in second and third chances all through the years.
