Bitcoin failed to reclaim the $11,000 threshold on August 19 and over the next two days tumbled to four digits once again.
In just a couple of days, Bitcoin shed roughly $1000 off its price, and at the time of this writing (August 22, Asia session) the top cryptocurrency is trading at around US$9,990 [AU$14,800]. BTC is down 2.19% on the day and 3% on the week.
Some crypto market experts argue that Bitcoin is in danger of repeating its 2018 market trend when BTC prices slipped to $3.200 from $6.000 price floor which at the time was considered to be unbreakable.
This summer Bitcoin is rallying very hard. After being rejected at $13,800 at the end of June, Bitcoin consolidated inside a multi-month symmetrical triangle which, considering recent price action, is possible to break down and send prices plummeting.
Symmetrical triangles are patterns which can break in both directions depending on price action and market sentiment.
On August 8th, Bitcoin reached $12,250 price where was again rejected, falling down to below $10,000.
Since then Bitcoin has been trading mostly above $10,000, reaching its highest price of roughly $10,920 on August 19.
Analysts believe that the current symmetrical triangle might break down, because “if bulls were indeed in charge” price “would have broken $12K on August 8.”
Again, I do NOT believe price can complete the symmetrical triangle. It does not make logical sense. Price would have broken $12k on August 8, 2019 if bulls were indeed in charge.

While not an inevitability, investors are definitely considering the risk of Bitcoin repeating its 2018 fall.

Besides just investing in Bitcoin by buying and selling the coins themselves, investors also have the option of Bitcoin futures trading, which enables them to realize profits not only when BTC prices rise, but also when they fall.
Futures trading can be an effective method of investing in the short-term, when even slightest Bitcoin price change can bring investors significant profits.
How does Bitcoin futures trading work?
The essence of trading futures contracts is the so-called “leverage” – the ability to control a large contract value with a small amount of capital.
Bexplus allows its investors to enjoy 100x leverage. To understand what that means, consider the following scenario:
Say you want to buy one BTC at a price of $10,000. To open such a trade on a fiat-to-crypto exchange you would need to pay the full $10,000.
If the price of Bitcoin goes up by 1%, your one BTC is now worth $10,100. If you choose to then sell your BTC and secure your profit, you will have made $100 from your original $10,000 investment.
Now let’s compare that to 100x leverage on Bexplus.
Thanks to the 100x leverage, you would only have to pay 1% to open the same trade, meaning that you would only need $100 (0.01 BTC) to open a one BTC position.
If Bitcoin’s price rises by 1%, you will still have made the same profit of $100, but at a considerably reduced cost.
