The continued weakness of price of bitcoin also made the fall impact huge. Since bitcoin price all time high of April fell, the plunge has recorded an over 50% in price reduction, coupled with renewed regulatory scrutiny.
According to Vijay Ayyar head of business development at cryptocurrency exchange Luno, the fall could be important. He predicted that sell off could go lower to test $20,000 to $24,000 level. From that level, bitcoin will start to trade in range.
” I would see bitcoin between 20-40k ($20,000 to $40,000) for a while now before any bullishness returns,” Ayyar said.
