If you’ve been trading Bitcoin or been following the crypto news cycle, you’ve likely heard of the word “capitulation.” Time and time again, this word, defined<\/a> as “the action of surrendering or ceasing to resist an opponent or demand,” has been used in the context of the cryptocurrency market, often to describe a violent downturn.<\/p>\n Just think back to the headlines seen in 2018, which mentioned the rapid Bitcoin price crash from $6,000 to $3,000 as an act of “capitulation” by crypto bulls. In other words, “capitulation” is reserved only to describe an extremely strong bout of downward price action.<\/p>\n Thus, the fact that a cryptocurrency trader claims that capitulation is imminent for the BTC price should have some worried, or at least a tad nervous.<\/p>\n Bitcoin hasn’t done too hot in the past 48 hours. The leading cryptocurrency is down some 7% in the past 48 hours, tumbling from $7,150 on Sunday to $6,600 as of the time of writing this.<\/a><\/p>\n While this move obviously favored bears, it wasn’t a clear capitulation event, with the sell-off taking place over multiple days, rather than one big flash-in-the-pan spike downward, then a recovery.<\/p>\n Though, two analysts have asserted that this latest move to the downside has validated their theories that a full-on capitulation in the Bitcoin market is imminent.<\/p>\n Trader “FizeekMoney” recently noted<\/a> that the daily on-balance volume chart for the BTC-to-USDT chart on Binance is “screaming [that] capitulation is on the horizon” for Bitcoin. Backing his quip, he looked to the below chart, which shows that the cryptocurrency has lost a support line, implying that bears are gaining control.<\/p>\n Daily volume screaming capitulation is on the horizon for $BTC<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/FjY3JjHt5O<\/a><\/p>\n — Fizeek$ (@FizeekMoney) December 18, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nRelated Reading: Ethereum Is Now Officially Net Negative in 2019, Down 91% From ATH<\/a><\/h6>\n
