Sound familiar? September 2017 China’s Bitcoin ban caused an all-time high of $ 20,000 in 3 months

Bitcoin (BTC) plunges lower to challenge $ 40,000 support on Sept. 24 as the dust settles on what analysts are calling a false alarm from China.

A classic bull run recipe?

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView show a new multi-day low of $ 40,690 for BTC / USD on Bitstamp, an 8% decrease from the day.

Hodlers was disappointed, but unimpressed, by news that China is alleged to have tightened its crypto “ban”, which in reality is just a repetition of the bank’s existing restrictions.

Events have a bell for them – in September 2017, the initial announcement of the “ban” caused Bitcoin to crash, only to recover to its original level within weeks and hit an all-time high of $ 20,000 less than three months later .

Reality has not been lost with long-time market participants, including those on social media, where news about China first surfaced and caused panic.

For the retailer and analyst Rekt Capital, the sell-off only underlines the inexperience of new market participants.

“BTC investors who have been in the market for a while have heard various iterations of FUD from China. But the newer, inexperienced investors are hardest hit, ”he says tweeted right day.

“Your panic selling fueled this recent decline.”

$ 38,000 support not affected

The move, however, wiped out many days of BTC prize gains, including those made through Twitter with the launch of the Lightning Network.

However, looking at the makeup of the spot market, it is clear that the sale had little impact on the support, which is still consolidating below $ 40,000.

As previously reported by Cointelegraph, the “line in the sand” for the bulls is in the mid-range of $ 30,000.

Meanwhile, the popular monthly minimum closing rate for September remains at $ 43,000.
