Actually a relatively stable period for crypto, bitcoin in particular. It's still bear season and How low it goes is anyones guess, but I think now is a "safe" period to start accumulating.
The last big crypto crash (2014) led to a year long bear trend, so I'm expecting the same, unless there's some major news to change things.

I keep going back to this video, while not an in depth technical analysis, so far the cycle has been absolutely spot on. We're potentially entering the "accumulation phase", which is when you should be buying for long term.

We're entering his phase 5 here - there will be a lot of volatility where I don't think analysis and resistance levels make a lot of sense as it'll be highly unpredictable. I think it'll bounce around somewhere between 6 and 10k before it settles down, unless it drops further.Comment

Agree with that, the whole market seems to be going through an accumulation period.
There is an opinion we're going to follow the trend in 2014. I'm on the fence with that one. Yes 'Bitcoin' may follow that pattern. However, I'm suspecting a number of alt-coins will now take a prominent position in the market."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

This bear cycle is caused by lower confidence in the market and those retail investors selling and cutting their losses. This will taper out over a period of months, then we see the trend start to level and reverse because smart investors see the opportunity to accumulate, and so the cycle repeats.Comment

“The committee said in a report that consumers were left unprotected from an unregulated industry that aided money laundering, while the government and regulators “bumble along” and fail to take action.
The Conservative MP Nicky Morgan, the chair of the committee, said the current situation was unsustainable.
“Bitcoin and other crypto-assets exist in the wild west industry of crypto-assets. This unregulated industry leaves investors facing numerous risks,” Morgan said. “Given the high price volatility, the hacking vulnerability of exchanges and the potential role in money laundering, the Treasury committee strongly believes that regulation should be introduced.”Comment
