Stuck in the Death Cross
Currently stuck in the death cross, BTCUSD will likely to keep dropping near the 4500-6500 range. The last time this happened was on 9/4/2014 and ended on 10/27/2015, nearly 11 months. From the price action, this could take 2 years or less, depending on volume, which there is no fresh fiat into the market cap. Major reasons:
1. Banning the use of credit cards to purchase BTC, LTC and ETH. This dragged on the overall crypto economy as seen implemented on 2/4/2018
2. Shutdown on ICO and most exchanges in China on 2/5/2018
Without fresh fiat, BTC is drying out and withering. Bullish pricing could incite new buyers but will take a few more months before uptake occurs. By that time, there will be altcoins/projects launched and potentially waiting for the token economy to begin.
