TREE NEWS reports: Trader Killa said Bitcoin’s previous extreme low should not be treated as a level it is bound to revisit unless more negative news emerges, and that historical price patterns are unlikely to repeat in a simple way. The earlier liquidation wick formed when several bearish factors hit at once, including the Federal Reserve’s hawkish pause signal, Killa said, adding that buyers appear to be waiting for lower entry prices in the fourth quarter and recommending continued dollar-cost averaging into BTC over the coming weeks. Bitcoin has pulled back about 9%, which Killa called a healthy correction within a bull market.
