Bitcoin recently made a “Golden Cross”<\/a> where the 50-day moving average closed above the 200-day moving average, a positive development for traders who see it as a very bullish indicator. However, the benchmark cryptocurrency fell sharply right after forming the bullish crossover.<\/p>\n

The bitcoin-to-dollar exchange rate slipped below both the 50- and 200-DMA earlier this week, going against the perceived upside sentiment that was led by the Golden Cross<\/a> formation. The pair on Friday established a weekly low at $8,428.80. At its week-to-date high, it was trading at $10,030 on US crypto exchange Coinbase.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin fell into a sell trap shortly after investors started losing faith in global stocks and commodities<\/a>. Sitting atop attractive profits, the cryptocurrency became an attractive asset among people who were looking to generate cash. They sold anything for bid and ran under the safety of whatever they perceived was their haven.<\/p>\n

Even Gold<\/a>, often treated as an outdated version of a digital bitcoin, slipped huge ahead of closing the week. Investors sold it for hard cash, similar to how they did during the 2008 financial crisis.<\/p>\n

Despite today's decline, the price of #gold<\/a> is still up over 6.5% so far this year. Yet the GDX, an index of gold mining stocks is down almost 10%. Traders still don't get it. Gold is headed much higher, as are the earnings & reserve values of companies that mine it. Buy the dip!<\/p>\n
