Bitcoin (BTC) Trades Below Its Major Support Level of $10,000, Is This An End of The Bull Run Already?

Bitcoin

Just when we thought that Bitcoin is in its recovery mode and is bouncing back to have a steady price rally towards $11,000 and beyond, it has again fallen and this time even below its major support level of $10,000. Bitcoin has slid and crossed the descending support levels at $9800 and $9500. This flaw in the BTC price trend may cause the market and many other coins that are anchored by BTC to crash and lose a subsequent amount. Well observed, the major coins after BTC viz., Ethereum and XRP are also trading with a loss of 12.58% and 5.44% respectively.

The current market statistics also portray the gnawing scenario of the coin.
