That now has left the numbers hovering around $1.76 Trillion. The consequences of the torments have been evident with the market leader Bitcoin. Which has shed ~8% in gains, and is presently trading at $36,438.70. 

On the other hand, Ethereum is currently changing hands at $2,745.78, with losses accounting for 7%. The catalysts behind the plummet are adjudged to be options expiry, manipulation of price, long liquidations and stock market correlation.  Successively, the fear and greed index has needled down to extreme fear, at a score of “22”.

  According to Glass Node Alerts, BTC’s number of exchange withdrawals (7D MA) has hit its 1-month high of 1,944.214. Conversely, BTC’s realized cap has also reached a month low. Meanwhile, the transaction volumes (7 D MA) hit a 7-month high. And the number of addresses received from exchanges (7 D MA) has reached a 1-month high of 1,889.792.

Where Could BTC’s Price Head Next?

  Just the previous day, Bitcoin had broken out from its descending wedge pattern, with assistance from a spike in volumes. The peak turned out to be a fake-out, as the BTC price. Fell for a downswing to levels around $36,000. 

If the star crypto manages to construct its momentum towards $37,500, a run towards $40,302 could get validated. Conversely, if it fails to establish an uptrend, then the support at $34,091.99 could be on the cards.
