in #dump5 years ago

The Bitcoin price dropped from $10,000 to $8,100, liquidating $200 million worth of shorts. Here are three factors that triggered the fall.

(1) $10,200 to $10,500 is a multi-year strong resistance area for Bitcoin

Since mid-2018, the $10,200 to $10,500 rangeserved as a historically strong area of resistance for the top-ranking cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

(2) Whales quickly moved to sell BTC at the point of rejection

Almost as soon as the rejection of $10,200 was confirmed, whales started to fiercely short Bitcoin across major cryptocurrency exchanges.

(3) Massive volatility ahead of halving

Ahead of the Bitcoin block reward halving set to occur on May 12, trading activity on all major cryptocurrency platforms surged significantly.
