“All Indian investors who had previously invested in Bitcoin are now in a profitable position with the market sentiment slowly moving towards the ‘extreme greed’ category. A glimpse of what might happen if you are too late was visible yesterday. After BTC reached $64,000 (roughly Rs. 53 lakh), there was a sudden dip due to sudden profit booking and BTC’s price fell below $59,000 (roughly Rs. 48.9 lakh) within minutes, causing close to $200 million (roughly Rs. 1,658 crore) worth of liquidations within just one hour. Simultaneously, the world’s largest fiat-based exchange Coinbase had also gone down for a bit,” the CoinChange Markets Desk highlighted.

“It is worthwhile to note that Bitcoin has never crossed all-time highs in the halving event. The $69,000 (roughly Rs. 57.2 lakh) all-time high would act as a major resistance. However, in yesterday’s crypto market cycle, we also saw a glimpse of what altcoins can also do in such scenarios, as major memecoin DOGE pumped 20 percent in just an hour,” the CoinChange Markets Desk added.
