However, some other famous people involved in the cryptocurrency sphere remain bullish. For example, Dave Portnoy, the online sports celebrity founder of Barstool Sports, advised his followers on Twitter not to panic:

Now let’s check the price charts of the major cryptocurrencies against the euro.
BTC/EUR
In the first days of September, BTC/EUR has already dropped below the lowest level for August, thus forming a bearish candlestick in the monthly chart (MN) with a local low below the previous one — a signal indicating that the bears are trying to take control over the market:
However, it is worth mentioning that in the daily time frame (1D), BTC/EUR is approaching the previous local low or a level of approximately €7,984:
That’s why it is highly probable that Bitcoin will receive support at the level of the previous local low and the pair may rebound very soon.
ETH/EUR
In the weekly price chart (1W), ETH/EUR formed a solid Bearish Engulfing — a bearish reversal pattern, usually occurring at the top of an uptrend:
If the bears continue to dominate the market, then ETH/EUR may drop to the lower line of a potential ascending channel (uptrend) in the daily time frame (1D):
If the price of Ethereum drops to the lower line of the ascending channel, we will wait for a price rebound (buy signal) to open a long position.
LTC/EUR
In the daily chart (1D), the market sell-off has brought the price of Litecoin back to the upper line of the Falling Wedge:
In our estimation, the bulls will fiercely defend the upper line of the Falling Wedge. That’s why if LTC/EUR can bounce off the upper line, we will open a long position.
