Bitcoin Price Slips Below $10,000, Liquidating $40 Million

2020-9-6 23:40

Bitcoin has sustained a strong correction over the past few days as legacy markets have turned red. The price of the leading cryptocurrency just plunged under $10,000 minutes ago for the third time in the past 48 hours.

BTC now trades for $9,950 as of this article’s writing, around a percent or two above the local lows of $9,800.

The market’s momentum seems to be bearish. This is exemplified by futures markets for Bitcoin, which have begun to print a series of negative funding rates, which means the prices of these futures markets are below the spot/index price of BTC.
