The latest drop below $10,000 level was one of the many that occurred over the past 30 days as Bitcoin was hovering around the threshold since mid-August. In fact, this will potentially be the fifth time BTC will test the critical support level at around $9,300 that has proven resilient since mid-June.
Bitcoin first dropped to around $9,700 on Aug. 15 and then slipped to about $9,800 after reclaiming $10,000 again on the same day. Bitcoin trader Jacob Canfield calls the latest drop under $10K a “pretty classic rising wedge that hit resistance.”
However, Canfield doesn’t see BTC dropping lower than $8,900.
“First support zone didn’t hold up price at all,” he wrote on Twitter. “Ideal buy zone $8900-$9100 if we can get there.”
But despite price struggling to hold above the $10,000 mark, Bitcoin fundamentals have been continuously improving. On Aug. 19, the Bitcoin network hash rate broke another record, hitting 82.5 TH/s. Moreover, Bitcoin’s dominance on the market has been growing over the past month, up from 65.2% to 69% at press time, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
