Crypto News: Bears in Control, But Bitcoin Eyes $8K Defense

Bears in Control, But Bitcoin Eyes $8K Defense

Bitcoin's 28 percent drop this week has turned the tide in favor of the bears, but a sustained break below $8,000 looks unlikely in the short-run, the price charts indicate.

Having registered losses for four straight days, CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price index (BPI) fell to a one-month low of $8,371 in Asian hours. The decline was in line with the bearish continuation pattern seen on the bitcoin (BTC) charts during the U.S. session. The sell-off has pushed the market capitalization of BTC below $150 billion for the first time since Feb. 14.

As of writing, the BPI is seen at $8,590. Despite the slight recovery from the session's low, the cryptocurrency is down 14.5 percent on a 24-hour basis, according to data source CoinMarketCap.

Furthermore, most other crypto-market leaders are reporting double-digit losses. For instance, ether has depreciated by 10.11 percent in the last 24 hours, while bitcoin cash, NEO, stellar, and cardano are down 10 percent each.
