Bitcoin price is losing its upward momentum, but data suggests traders are gearing up to buy any significant dips. Bitcoin (BTC) soared above $35,000 on Nov. 2 and that may have sucked in the aggressive bulls who speculated that the next leg of the up-move was beginning. However, the price quickly turned around and fell back below $35,000 signaling that the breakout may have been a fake move. A mild correction during an uptrend does not signal a trend change. It is generally a healthy sign as it shakes out weak hands.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently told Bloomberg on May 11 that a possible sovereign default by the U.S. government could create panic in the stock markets, resulting in heightened volatility.
