September’s Bitcoin Market Madness: When Panic Selling and FOMO Ensues
On September 15, after a couple of Chinese cryptocurrency exchanges announced they were closing, bitcoin’s price dropped to a low of $2,970. Following this dip, BTC trade volumes began to surge as the price per bitcoin rose over $600 in less than an hour and during the course of the afternoon bounced back to a high of $3,820. Now the price of bitcoin is rocketing upwards again as it surpassed the $4K zone just three days later.

Bitcoin’s price has been wavering between $4,050-4,095 during the past 6-hours. ‘Fear of missing out’ (FOMO) is real, and this may be part of the reason why cryptocurrency markets bounced back after suffering from 30-40 percent losses from the other day. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts called it a ‘flash sale’ and many bitcoiners were pleased to get a chance to ‘buy the dip.’ After bitcoin’s value fell below the $3K range, the ‘sale’ didn’t last long as buyers scurried frantically to get some cheaper BTC and altcoins. 
Among all the ‘flash sale madness,’ there are definitely people who sold or had positions that were liquidated. After BTCC first announced closing operations, bitcoin’s price dropped from the $3800 range, stopping at several key territories and then finally dropped below $3K. In these moments, lots of people likely ‘new’ to the trading atmosphere ‘panic sold’ all the way down the line. After September 15, the bitcoin price bottomed out at $2,970, and things suddenly changed gears, when an enormous amount of buying took place. BTC’s value gradually pushed back up to the $3,800 territory during the course of the day. 
Bitcoin Dips This Year Have Followed a Consistent Pattern
Taders who were able to sell at the top and buy back in at the bottom made off with profits like bandits. Even though bitcoin’s price took a hit, lots of money was made that day. The signs of the market shifting down existed after litecoin creator, Charlie Lee, detailed a certain exchange in China would announce its closing. Traders also know that when the trouble began brewing back in January between China’s central bank and bitcoin exchanges, bitcoin’s price dipped 37 percent from a $1166 high to a low of $735. Of course, these individuals also remember BTC rallied to $1,300 following the Chinese fiasco in March and spiked to $2,690 in May. Let’s just say each significant BTC correction is followed by a slower but much larger rally upwards.
