Dat candle,the volume ..

And the most ridiculous part of the last few days ? If you own the allegedly manipulated scamcoin tether then you've outperformed everything else. Rational markets eh.....

In theory tether is pegged very close to the dollar.    It has been flat the last year while most coins are still up 300-1000%

Quite, but isn't the whole point of this latest round of FUD that Tether is an unbacked scam and therefore not really worth $1 or tethered at all.   If the price is stable close to $1 then maybe it's not a scam and all this is just made up shite and not even FUD

All the fuckheads have to do is release a letter from the bank confirming the balance.  No audit required - we can all count the number of Tether outstanding.   It’s a 5 minute job.

Even if they did have the USD backing, I cannot imagine them not using it rather than keeping it sitting in a bank.   Human nature being what it is, it's not plausible.  I have never touched Tether, always seen it as too good to be true.

But it is true that its officially unbacked, contrary to what you read about the founders and partners bank accounts.

Guys i think its over...

IT was a honor ;(

Now im pretty scare. This is bad, no signs of the stoping.

So everybody knew a bit about BTC and cryptos.

They put some money into the market in a skyrocketing period of gains, then a steady and eventually a huge dump.

They shook their hands and now someone believes it's not worth it, it's about a scam and so on (in the meantime FUD and regulations applied).

If you look at charts the price is still higher than August. Investments are increasing in this market.

Again, I see a strategy both to put away weak people from the market and reset it in order to follow the next pump.

The real issue:
is BTC still the king?

Any crypto is traded with BTC, so BTC is a critical leverage to exchange whatever crypto you want, however in the real market we should also look how ETH is performing, the latter seems particularly in shape even in this massive dump!

My 2 cents:
I believe the market will bottom out even before Tether proves their USD liquidity.
I don't think this sell off has much to do with Tether other than the timing of the Bloomberg news.
The market moves wherever liquidity is.
All the price movements can be timed by good TA guy.

Psychology is what drives us to associate FUD with the pricedrop.
FUD/news might help with the timing of the pricing movements.

I could be absolutely wrong.

To make things even murkier, the ability to withdraw your Tether to your bank account in the form of USD has not always been guaranteed. As recently as December, Bloomberg reported that Tether's Terms of Service read as follows: “There is no contractual right or other right or legal claim against us to redeem or exchange your tethers for money. We do not guarantee any right of redemption or exchange of tethers by us for money.”

Importantly, a search of the company's current TOS page shows that language has been removed. Now, the company states that "Absent a reasonable legal justification not to redeem Tether Tokens, and provided that you are a fully verified customer of Tether, your Tether Tokens are freely redeemable."

The Terms of Service go on to note, however, that "residents of certain U.S. states are not permitted to be customers of Tether; are not permitted to cause Tethers to be issued or redeemed; and, are not permitted to hold Tether Tokens."
