On the night of October 26, the price of bitcoin reached $ 10,300. The growth was more than 40% per day. Then the correction began.
If comparing against daily High vs Low:
– 54th largest daily move, largest since Jan / 14/2015.
– 88th largest two-day move, largest since Feb / 7/2018.This is still bigger than December 2017.
> 95% of + 42% gains happened between 2009 and 2013.

This is the fourth largest daily price movement and the largest since May 10, 2011, said analyst Alex Krueger.
This is also the 54th largest movement when comparing the daily high and low. The last time this was observed on January 14, 2015.
According to Kruger, such a rapid growth is due exclusively to fundamental factors, namely, a statement by Chinese President Xi Jinping, in which he supported the development of the blockchain.
42% outliers don't take place due to technicals. Technicals may help (did so today IMO), but are not the driver.
