As Bitcoin’s downtrend begins to run out of steam and selling momentum, the first-ever crypto asset has been trading within an increasingly tightening trading range, between lows or $6,400 to highs of $7,600. But as volatility disappears from the cryptocurrency market, the next move, while not necessarily near, will be an extremely aggressive one according to one outspoken crypto analyst and trader. Volatility Disappears From Crypto Market As Traders Await Direction Decision Bitcoin price is ready for a fresh start in 2020. After exploding into the public eye in 2017, then suffering an extended bear market throughout 2018, 2019 offered crypto investors a glimmer of hope, that ultimately turned back into fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

The leading cryptocurrency by market cap bottomed out around $3,100, then went on a powerful, parabolic rally and in the matter of just three short months had grown all the way to $14,000 – with returns of over 350% from trough to peak. Bitcoin couldn’t set a new all-time high and instead fell back into a downtrend that according to current price action, may be running out of momentum and a reversal may be building.
