Bitcoin (BTC) suddenly lost $2,000 in an hour on Sept. 24 as what appeared to be old news over a Chinese regulatory ban hit social media.
Bitcoin vs. China: Don’t believe the “FUD”
Datele de la Cointelegraph Markets Pro și TradingView tracked BTC/USD as it abruptly fell from $45,000 to near $42,000.
The kneejerk reaction came as a memo from China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC), began to circulate online, criminalizing practically all cryptocurrency activity except possession.
As commentators noted, however, the PBoC originally released the updated guidance on Sept. 15 but posted it online on Friday, Sept. 24.
Nonetheless, what has now become a classic source of BTC price pressure — “FUD” over Chinese bans — was quick to take its toll on market sentiment.
The market already heard the rumors around mid-September, and reacted on those fud by then. DON’T FALL FOR THE FUD AGAIN. https://t.co/pew1kyCZ3d
