However, despite the loss, Oanda Corp.’s Stephen Innes is yet to see strong evidence pertaining to the surrender of Cryptocurrencies, hitting a market bottom.

“There’s still a lot of people in this game,” Innes, head of trading for Asia Pacific at Oanda. If Bitcoin “collapses, if we start to see a run down toward $3,000, this thing is going to be a monster. People will be running for the exits.”
