BTCUSD as well as almost every other alt coin took a hard hit today. Most of the market action today is a result of the news of Binance being "hacked". Were they actually hacked? They have released several statements suggesting that it is a technical difficulty rather than a hack. HOWEVER, several users have reported that all of their ALTcoins were sold for BTC - other users reporting that all their assets were traded for VIA (Viacoin), forcing the price of VIAUSD to shoot up over 50%
In my opinion, we should see recovery from this, however, I am unsure how long it will take...
All indicators are showing that this may be the end of the dip. Also, we are still within our buy/sell channel (marked with two blue dotted lines)
I personally have a short position open from days ago, which is sitting at a loss. I wasn't expecting this news or downtrend, and quite the opposite, was expecting for BTC to uptrend towards 15k the next few weeks.
