Trading tips for crypto market on November 18 (North American session)

[Ben Graham]

Bitcoin slightly retraced to the $91,000 level, but it seems the decline is not yet over. Until we see a sharp downward momentum and the final liquidation of those who bought Bitcoin at $100,000 with high leverage, it would be inappropriate to talk about a reversal of the bear market.

Meanwhile, while retail traders and investors are panicking, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan and BitMine Chairman Tom Lee stated that they consider the current correction in BTC a good buying opportunity and a gift for long-term investors. According to Hougan, Bitcoin's fundamentals remain strong, and the current volatility is just a temporary phenomenon caused by market overheating and profit-taking by major players. Lee adds that institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to grow, and we will see new large investments in this asset in the coming months. They both emphasize that such corrections are a common occurrence in a bull market and that there is no need to panic.

One thing is clear: despite the current correction, Bitcoin's long-term prospects remain quite optimistic. The number of companies and countries recognizing it as a means of savings and payment continues to grow year by year. After the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the US regulator, it was these funds that drove prices upwards. As soon as money begins to flow back into them, we can expect a new wave of growth in the cryptocurrency market.

As for intraday strategies in the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to act based on any significant pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum, anticipating the continuation of the bullish market in the medium term, which is still very much alive.
