Take away the FUD and News… The asset is going to move regardless. Suppression/control is usually caused by something that instantly has loss. Think of when you go to a casino many people are gambling at the table and machines, if everyone was winning the casinos would be shut down (So we know that ultimately “don’t bet against the casino”) Since there is a lack of regulations Exchanges are the casinos in this case and if they lose too much money they will make it back. Timing is everything in this market, leverage is a dangerous game and the Exchanges have their ways. FUD is the perfect time for manipulation!! If bitcoin was to be truly free from control and manipulation the price would probably be way off the charts by now.. I can only speculate if regulations come in play GLOBALLY that you would see this, regardless of FUD. Currently I can see BTC heading to around 46k possibly 47k pulling back then heading towards 54k this a Gann study
