A panic sell isn't necessarily a bad thing. It could be a serious warning or it could be a good buying opportunity. Warren Buffett once said:

"Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.”


Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy - Arbor Asset Allocation Model Portfolio  (AAAMP) Value Blog

It's up to the investor to understand the risks and the investment and decide accordingly.

Pretty sure the market is merely at the Anxiety part. The news is just now today starting to consider that maybe the cycle peaked.

Eth is in the earlier stated 2000-2600 resistance range which includes the 50 DMA, and people who want to get out may get an opportunity on a bounce here. But this isn't selling off like a normal market, probably due to lack of shorts / puts on these cryptos which are what help keep stock markets from just all out going to zero in down swings.

Yeah this is an all out crash. 15 mins later and the crypto index has lost another 20%.

I think the retail investor panic selling really only started in these past few hours. Like I said, this definitely seems like a well crafted move, sell signals existed for a while but not to these levels.

Good luck with that, like I said above, ETH is still far above the profitability threshold.

No it isn't, especially with the following about to hit;
Whatever profitability might exist will quickly be gone!

POS will take ETH mining out of the equation (well not really but let's go with that) but till then prices alone wont cause miners to give up on buying GPUs. Plus, who the hell knows what could take it's place after.

So this is one of those anecdotal signs of a crash.

My trading programs are all lagged to hell. Rest of the internet is fine.

Tesla's Board of Directors are interested in speaking with Elon at the next meeting I think. LMAO I am pretty sure he bought in around the 30-35k mark... so he just lost all his gains that gave his company a net profit last year. :roll:

Yup, he also lost his spot as 2nd richest man in the world.

This will probably tank Tesla's stock more than it already has. At one time they were trading at near 1000 X PE. Now they're down to ~500-600. The historical average is 15.5

Are you actually paying attention? Eth is as profitable as shoving cow-pat ATM and it's getting worse by the minute... It's crashing that fast...

EDIT: I take that back ETH has bounced back a bit in the last hour...

Even if it goes down to pre-2021 levels it will still be worth mining. People have been mining this whole time since 2017 actually, obviously it wasn't as profitable but still doable.

^^^^^

Markets do not move in a straight line.

Also statistically, when there is a 'gap' the market moves to cover at least 50% of the gap around 90% of the time. Most people do not take advantage of that because they think the good times are back.

This gap covering bounce is likely to happen to all of the gaps down that occurred over the last 24 hours. That will not change the trend.

mining to hodle during the slump periods is actually the most long term profitable..

Well, if you gave them that info you deserve to be jacked over. Why would ANYONE do that?
