A sudden spike in selling pressure forced Bitcoin to retreat to the $8,000s over the weekend. From the intraday peak at about $10,024 on Friday to approximately $8,700 at the time of publishing, the benchmark cryptocurrency has plummeted by more than 13%.

It was even worse during the early hours on Sunday when the BTC/USD pair was pushed back to the intraday low of $8,395.

The worrying pre-halving dump and the ensuing liquidation of long positions on several exchanges were probably caused by the overwhelming anticipation for a massive Bitcoin rally following the milestone event due on May 12, 2020. Many traders tried to tap in on the widely speculative opportunities in the post-halving market by making over-leveraged long bets.

BeInCrypto has more on that and other important news to have transpired over the weekend:

What to Make of Bitcoin’s Sharp Drop Below $9,000

Bitcoin’s weekly chart reveals a long-term resistance line that has been in place for 875 days and counting. While the price initially moved above this resistance area, yesterday’s decrease has caused it to fall right back inside. This has, in turn, created a very long upper-wick and a Doji candlestick.

The Bitcoin price decreased by $1,400 in less than one hour, falling back below an important resistance level. The weekly candlestick is in the process of creating a Doji candle. The BTC price has likely begun an A-B-C correction, with a final target between $6,200-$6,800.

Could Tighter Chinese Digital Lending Restrictions Pose a Threat to Bitcoin Mining?

The China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission seems to have made its mind to introduce more stringent regulations to govern the online lending market.

The commission suggests that the maximum amount of credit offered to any single consumer should be capped at 200,000 yuan — or about $28,270. Balloon loans (those which are repaid in a single lump sum) must be capped at a term of one year.

This new policy, if implemented, could have serious repercussions for the country’s thriving Bitcoin mining industry, and by extension, for the global cryptocurrency market considering China controls nearly 65% of the Bitcoin network’s hash rate.

Here’s Why Hedge Fund Manager Paul Tudor Jones Is Now Bullish on Bitcoin

Paul Tudor Jones recently made waves by supporting Bitcoin (BTC) as a hedge against inflation. His reasoning was simple, as explained in the May 2020 BVI letter to investors:

“Bitcoin… scores 66% of gold as a store of value, but has a market cap that is 1/60th of gold’s. Something appears wrong here and my guess is it is the price of Bitcoin.”

According to Jones, four key criteria collectively make Bitcoin a competent hedge against inflation: trustworthiness, liquidity, portability, and purchasing power.
