BTC/USD broke it's trend line support and tested it as new resistance.
This is just a simple technical analysis on the 1h chart, I'f bitcoin still has strength this is what I think could happen, there was old resistance at the 1660 zone, the 200EMA is about at that zone as well, old resistance and the 200EMA are great areas for support, If bitcoin is still strong in the medium term this is where I see it bouncing from.
News on Bitcoin is mixed
Japan has given the green light for bitcoin to be used as a payment method, this has led to a greater amount of bitcoin being bought with the jen.
There will be a reconsideration of the bitcoin ETF soon and if it is denied it could cause some short term bears.
Exchanges have had problems lately, this could cause people to reluctantly buy into crypto's.
But overall I think people are going to see it as the future of money, The fiat system we are in is out dated and not made for this digital age.
What is the best thing to do?
I think the best thing for any one to do is there own research and if you really believe in the crypto future diversify in a few tokens that have a good development team and plan to hold for the long term.
I would not suggest any one try to catch tops and bottoms, less you have a lot of experience. Just dollar cost average in, add a little each paycheck and don't plan to sale for at least 5 to 10 years.

Update
After now seeing the news behind the latest drop of bitcoin I'm now very unsure... The #Wannacry #malware attack may do the fallowing... this is just bear speculation...Make Japan rethink their decision to legalize bitcoin
It makes a case for governments to put further regulations on bitcoin.
People may not like that this could be a use for bitcoin, so they may be more reluctant to buy.
The recent run in bitcoin has been from new people getting involved and this could make them question if it's a good thing.
It may take a while for people to forget about this and go back to being bulls on bitcoin...
