Bitcoin Price Close to $3,400: Where is the End of the Bearish Trend?

Now, it has plunged below the $3,500 level seeing the market cap decline to $112.8 billion. At press time, BTC is trading at $3,427 as coinmarketcap data shows, Ethereum (ETH) at $105 and Ripple (XRP) at $0.289.   

The Bitcoin market cap also plunged from $62.7 billion (on January 27) to $60.5 billion.   

Potential Fall   

Cryptocurrency analysts believe that the surprise price plunge has more to do with technical factors rather than cardinal and fundamental factors.   

Cryptocurrency trader Josh Rager reacted to the BTC collapse saying that the plunge below $3,400 after relative stability shows a potential fall to a 12-month low. He revealed: 

In most cases, low prices normally pull in miners and investors to generate coins which could result in a mid-term rebound. Though Alex Krüger, a luminary economist and cryptoasset analyst has subjugated that belief elaborating that amassing BTC won’t inevitably increase prices in future. 

Using his Twitter, Krüger elaborated:

Will BTC Break the $3,000 Support?   

BTC dominance is still over ½ of the whole digital currency market at around 53.4% which shows that it still shapes the entire cryptoasset market.   

However, a crypto trader & highly respected ‘master of the charts’ has warned that if BTC proceeds towards $3,000, then it could spell a time of reckoning for the digital currency. Bitcoin hit an annual low of $3,150 last year in December before a noteworthy rally which pushed it above $4,000 in January 2019.   

Through Twitter, Magic noted:   

Also, Bitcoin SV,  which traditionally traded inversely with Bitcoin, failed to repeat its previous behaviour, dropping 9% to around $66.80 — a 60-day low.
