Bitcoin in the News : 2020-02 More++

In last week's post, Bitcoin in the News : 2020-02 Price, I wrote,

I picked out four high volume periods worth investigating. Two were from the first, rising half of the month, two from the second, falling half.

For this post, I'll combine those four high volume periods with all of the February stories that I identified from Forbes. The stories through the day after a high volume period are grouped together.

All of the groups, except the third, have a story covering the high volume period. The story dated 2020-02-27 in the last group says,

Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency market crash comes as global stocks go into meltdown due to the coronavirus spreading around the world.

It relates to two coronavirus stories in the first group (which are positive for bitcoin) plus the last story in the fourth group (negative for bitcoin). The month of March should provide more evidence supporting one side of this difference of opinion.
