Previous instances of losing the psychological $20,000 level have seen recoveries over that area. However, with macro concerns, namely runaway inflation and the Fed’s perceived inability to tackle the problem, some analysts expect BTC to fall lower than the previous $17,600 local bottom, which was hit on June 18.

Meanwhile, according to Glasscoin, the move down was accompanied by $20.28 million in longs liquidated. Choppy price action had led to $9 million in shorts liquidated on Aug. 29.

Data from Glassnode on Deribit’s Bitcoin Open Interest by Strike price, for Aug. 31, shows puts at $19,500 as the most popular call by traders.
