The Price Fluctuation of Bitcoin
Due to the failure of Bitcoin to establish a foothold, above the 2019 high of $13, 880 in June, the short-term bull fatigue, signaled by the 14-day relative strength index, has been validated.
And the result of this development, is that technical traders may feel tempted to take more profit, thereby forcing the prices to reduce.
Ashish Singhal, the CEO of Cryptocurrency Exchange Coinswitch, lent his voice by saying that there might be small corrections, since some market participants that bought at lower prices, may permanently exit the market.
Also, the Corona Virus pandemic, has induced weakness in the stock market, and this could trigger a Global demand for cash, just as it happened earlier in March.
And if this happens, it would aggravate the technical pullback.
Ashish Singhal also mentioned that the U.S. Presidential Election that has been scheduled to take place on Tuesday, could pose as another risk for the world leading cryptocurrency; The Bitcoin.
With all these obvious factors considered, the chance of Bitcoin going back to the previous hurdle-turned-support of $12, 500, cannot be overlooked.
However, Kruger added that if the market can establish above $14, 000, there could be a risk that rally would stall, in favor of a healthy retreat.
While a pullback is already obvious, analyst cannot foresee a price crash, as crypto has a strong bid from various Institution.
