Bitcoin’s Woes: A Most Unfortunate November 💸

by

It appears, my dear readers, that November – that month so often vaunted as particularly propitious for the digital currency known as Bitcoin – is proving a most disappointing affair. Indeed, one hears whispers amongst the gentlemen of finance that its reputation may be rather…exaggerated. A fall of ten percent in a mere seven days! A sinking sensation below the ninety thousand mark! One almost feels compelled to fetch the smelling salts. 😮

Mr. James Harris, a gentleman of some discernment at Tesseract, informs us that while history may suggest strength during this eleventh month, such numbers are, shall we say, “skewed.” A most unfortunate term, but one that conveys a certain…artfulness in its presentation. The current market, it seems, is anything but typical. A rather convenient excuse, perhaps? 🤔

Mr. Harris further suggests that this minor dip, though noteworthy, is not the entire picture. One suspects he is being exceedingly polite.

Bitcoin, alas, has declined a rather alarming fifteen and thirty-seven hundredths percent since the month commenced, placing it on course for its most dismal November since the year of 2019. A truly frightful prospect! According to CoinGlass, no less.

However, a temporary rally has been observed, with the price rising one percent to ninety-three thousand two hundred and ninety, having bravely climbed from a low beneath eighty-nine thousand four hundred. One must commend its resilience, even amidst such adversity.

Mr. Harris adds, with a touch of exasperation, that comparisons to prior years are “not like-for-like.” A most astute observation! The tardiness of the American government in revealing crucial economic data – owing to a rather protracted shutdown – has, it appears, forced investors to reconsider their expectations with unseemly haste. 🙄

And, pray tell, the confidence in a reduction of interest rates by the Federal Reserve in December has plummeted to a mere forty-one percent! A most disheartening state of affairs.

A New High? A Most Improbable Occurrence

Mr. Harris concedes that further gains are possible before the year concludes, though he does not, one gathers, place much faith in such an outcome. “It is possible, but not something we are forecasting,” he states with the bluntness one might expect from a man of business.

Bitcoin last attained a dizzying height of one hundred and twenty-five thousand one hundred in early October, causing optimistic traders to anticipate a continuation of the ascent during this supposed strongest of months. Alas, their hopes appear to be dashed.

Since 2013, November has yielded an average return of forty-one and thirty-five hundredths percent. A figure, it is noted with a degree of skepticism, inflated by a remarkable surge of four hundred and forty-nine percent in 2013 – a performance considerably exceeding that of any other month. A most peculiar anomaly, wouldn’t you agree?

Signs of…Stabilization? One Can Only Hope!

The analysts at Bitfinex suggest that the worst of the decline may, at last, be drawing to a close. Huzzah! “It feels like it is time for a local bottom to be established relatively soon,” they declare with cautious optimism. 🙏

They further posit that sustainable bottoms only form once those who purchased at higher prices have been forced to accept their losses. A rather harsh, but undeniably logical, principle.

Perhaps the gains awaited in November will, instead, materialize in December. The Bitfinex team reports that selling pressure is abating, and that “early signs of stabilisation” are beginning to emerge from the recent correction.

B2BINPAY, a firm dealing in the complexities of cryptocurrency payments, agrees that “a durable recovery can form just as quickly.” However, they caution that until Bitcoin can confidently reclaim the ninety-seven to one hundred thousand range, a state of “defensive sentiment” is likely to prevail. A rather sensible assessment, all things considered.
