"Bitcoin Price - 2018" Macro Analysis by Jackson Zeng, COO Caleb and Brown

A couple weeks ago at the most recent drop, I went on Coincast TV on Sky News Business to assert my bullish position on bitcoin at $6200.Since the low of $5850, Bitcoin has seen a recovery of 27% to $7430 over the last two weeks, in line with the sharp recoveries seen Feb 6, Apr 1, Jun 24, Aug 14. Year to date, there appears to be a roughly 30-day market attention period where price will recover after dropping to $6000.

Sunday between 4pm and 7pm, 10k BTC worth of shorts were accumulated on Bitfinex.
