[A 70% plunge after BNB, looks a lot like that dark night at the end of 2018]
Seriously, have you noticed that whenever the market turns into complete misery, it’s when guys like me—old bagholders—get the most conflicted?
At the end of 2018, Bitcoin dropped more than 80%. Everywhere you looked, it was crying and wailing; every post on my feed was full of “going to zero.” So what happened next? You all know the story from the following two years. I’m not saying history will repeat itself exactly, but every time I see a scene like this, I think of that line—when others are greedy, I’m fearful; when others are fearful, I’m even more fearful (don’t laugh, this is literally how I feel right now).
Alright, back to BNB. Right now around $ 562, it’s up 2.2% over the past 24 hours—which sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? But if you look at the last 7 days, it’s only up 0.4%. That’s basically just treading water. Even the trading volume is pitifully low, which suggests everyone is watching and nobody dares to make a move.
But here’s the interesting part. The current Fear Index in the market is only 21, which falls into “extreme fear,” with a weekly average of just 15. Let me tell you—historically, when you see indicators like this, it often marks a bottom.
BNB has already retraced nearly 60% from its high. In other words, if you bought near the historical high, you’re more or less down to about four tenths of your original position. At this level, long-term capital might not rush in right away, but they’ll definitely start paying close attention.
My current BNB holdings aren’t heavy; my cost basis is around $ 650. Support is at 537—if it breaks, I’ll step aside first. Resistance is at 577; only if it breaks through would I consider adding to my position. Plainly put: at this spot, there’s limited room for downside, but upside needs a catalyst. I can’t guarantee it will go up, but this level lets me sleep at night.
So what about you—what’s your situation? Have you been buying the dip, or are you still waiting? Or have you already gotten badly stuck? Chat in the comments. Let’s boost each other’s courage.
