Arthur Hayes was quoted saying, “My view is the volatility environment that exists right now could persist for another 12 to 18 months, the flatness. “I’m just basing it off my previous experience. I started in bitcoin in 2013 when the price went from $250 to $1,300 and then 2014 to 2015 was sort of the nuclear bear market. Price crashed, volume crashed — very, very difficult to make money.” He was speaking with Yahoo. Bitmax is a cryptocurrency exchange and derivative trading platform.
BTC/USD price action has formed a bullish flag pattern, as seen on the 60-minute chart view. Near-term resistance is eyed at $6306, which is the upper trend line of the flag.
