Everyone is out looking for bottom-callers to make them feel better. I mildly obliged last night, throwing in a "this is probably a good spot to buy" at about $6060. It's still far too early to say, but little did I know what a clean bottom Bitcoin was about to put in. If this holds, I'll have been within 1%. ![6k Bottom 1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXu98hV34SLDbTPgJqNH2v8oRespvJ54bBynQZwWmKu5g/6k%20Bottom%201.png) *A sure sign some lazy buyer/traders are setting limit buys at exactly $6,000.* I honestly can't remember ever seeing such an exact bottom on a chart. $6000 and .00 cents indicates a buyer was sitting with large enough limit order right at $6000 to stop the downtrend to the penny. I'd call it a fairly bullish sign, as we're already up almost 30% from that bottom ($7678 at time of writing), but predicting this market is practically guessing. ![6k Bottom 2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNhPa1Njp5iLVDKyhDXam7QPwQE3L5SCgpFiL8XV75j5q/6k%20Bottom%202.png) *We could be forgiven for thinking $10,000 would serve as stronger support.* What's causing the crash? There's chatter, yet again, of China shutting down all access to foreign cryptocurrency exchanges, rather than simply the domestic ones. Of course, this is nothing new. A more interesting possible explanation for the increasing degree of this dip may be found in the US equity markets. The stock markets all dumped, and the BTC/Vix (volatility index) inverse correlation has suddenly broken. ![BTC v Vix.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVATQEq3MciPrrhyE9hdEVLYFPFVqiM2TnECK4KZfe6fp/BTC%20v%20Vix.jpg) *Let's hope this correlation is broken without further BTC downside.* This proved to be bad news for Credit Suisse, the custodian and largest holder of XIV, the reverse VIX ETF. Oh well, it's a major bank, so screw 'em! Reportedly, they "only" lost 2 quarters worth of profits... ![6k Bottom 3.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSYDDcPRoWdZYw7yARs1nGch8QBkDkrXcDPFdkLDQKqra/6k%20Bottom%203.png) *In stocks, they actually call this a crash (20 -> 16).* Long-term, I can only assume such market turmoil is a positive for "alternate assets" such as Bitcoin. Hodl accordingly.
