The move follows warnings about the bearish state of the market from analysts, including Cointelegraph contributor filbfilb, who was among those warning that $10,000 would continue to evade the largest cryptocurrency.
filbiflb also noted that institutional investors were feeling less certain under current market conditions.
At press time, lows of $9,070 appeared before a modest bounce brought the price above $9,300.
According to on-chain data provider CryptoQuant, it appears that exchange selling momentum had gathered to increase downward pressure.
“The All Exchanges Reserve points to increased selling pressure as 7,073 BTC flowed into exchanges in 8 hours,” CEO Ki Young Ju told Cointelegraph in private comments.
Earlier, Cointelegraph published a summary of why BTC/USD was continuing to fail at establishing $10,000 as a new price focus.
