A popular crypto trader gives a gloomy forecast for Bitcoin (BTC) away Ethereum (ETH) as the top two crypto assets market capitalization delve deeper into the red zone.
Pseudonymous crypto analyst Capo tells his 265,300 followers on Twitter that Bitcoin is in a downtrend and warns that buying BTC when the price appears to be recovering could result in massive losses.

“Yesterday’s pump was fully traced. Bull trap confirmed, and this time it happened under $40,000.
