Bitcoin price drops for fourth day straight

price of Bitcoin

The price of Bitcoin has slipped below $20k again this morning, having fallen for a fourth straight day.

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation changing hands for around $19,376 – a drop of 3.68 per cent. Each time the Bitcoin price has dropped below $20k over the past fortnight, it has managed to promptly bounce back. Can it do so again, or is there more downside to come? 

Other major cryptocurrencies are also down this morning, with Ethereum drifting towards the $1,000 mark. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap is currently down 6.85 per cent, trading for $1,053. The declines echo falls in traditional markets, with the tech-focused Nasdaq again ending yesterday slightly lower.

Everyone who said they will wait to buy #Bitcoin at $20k when it was at $69k are now waiting to buy #Bitcoin at $10k.
