The cryptocurrency giant, Bitcoin (BTC), eventually collapsed below the $20,000 level as the Nasdaq plunged more than 2% last night.
As of 8:33 am on the 12th, according to CoinMarketCap, the price of Bitcoin is recording $19,975. This is a decrease of 4.18% from 24 hours ago. Bitcoin fell to $19,924.54 at one point during the day.
According to CoinDesk, a cryptocurrency media outlet on the same day, Joe DiPasquale, CEO of crypto fund management firm BitBull Capital, said in an email, “We expect price fluctuations to continue.” “If Bitcoin falls again, it could drop to a potential bottom around the $17,000 level, but that price will be a strong signal for buyers.
Also, in a weekly report on the 11th, AMM Management, a cryptocurrency analysis company, diagnosed that “Bitcoin needs to be supported above the $20,000 level to expect a short-term upward attempt.”
An analyst at AM Management said, “Bitcoin is currently under pressure after forming a short-term high, and if it maintains the support range of $20,555 to $20,100, an upward attempt may be made. A break below $18,600 could lead to further declines.”
