Cryptocurrency markets underwent extremely bearish movements yesterday, as the market leader Bitcoin returned below the critical $6000 level and sharply declined from this point. Bitcoin had twice already this year traded below $6000 but both times quickly retraced back above.
Many analysts were anticipating that a sharp sell-off would follow the next break below $6000. This sell-off turned out to be the case yesterday. Bitcoin’s previous low of around $5750 was broken, and the market leader currently trades around $5400.
Bitcoin had traded within a triangle pattern for most of the year forming both lower highs and higher lows consolidating to around $6500. Many were anticipating a breakout as the triangle approached its end but price action consolidated to the end of the triangle pattern. Yesterday’s price action saw Bitcoin break the structure of higher lows and the severe sell-off followed.
Yesterday’s low was around $5280, but price closed at a higher point around $5600. Today’s price action is seeing a return to depreciation. The declines are on large volume showing significant strength behind the move. Altcoins also have suffered severe depreciations with most recording losses in the double digits.
