After bitcoin got over $8k and was holding nicely, the bottom fell out.

And when I say the bottom fell out, I mean THE BOTTOM FELL OUT!

Prices went as low as $6,200 on the charts very briefly!

Yikes!

I won't get into exactly what happened but it was some combination of bitstamp and bitmex messing with the markets after a large sell order got things rolling to the downside.

This tank was scary except something weird happened...

Prices recovered.

Not only did they recover some, but they took back the entire drop in about 2 days.

As I type prices are back up near $8k.

They should be around $7k and bleeding based on the charts.

The bullish sentiment is so strong prices aren't able to correct even yet.

Everyone is waiting for $6k, but it's not coming.

That may force people into buying up here if they really want to get in... that's called FOMO.
