- Michael van de Poppe cautions against following the herd, advises traders to wait for a retest in price rallies.
- Bitcoin price seat in the hands of the bulls despite a dip to $8,407; gains above $9,000 are possible.
Bitcoin price unexpected rally to $9,500 has split the community into two. One camp anticipates higher price action as we head towards the halving. On the other hand, the second camp is, according to Michael van de Poppe, a popular trader, anticipating a significant price reversal. Michael believes that despite the rally, traders have a myriad of buying opportunities especially after Bitcoin dipped to $8,407 before recovering to the current levels at $8,730.
Most people are “sitting in panic” according to the trader instead of buying the dips in the wake of the FOMO-driven surge. Michael, however, advised traders against following the herd while sarcastically praising those that bought BTC at $9,400.
Never ever buy into that. There is always a retest and always a retrace going.
