Bitcoin price has faced some mounting downwards pressure, ETH is at risk of being sold off on exchanges
Bitcoin price continuous decline comes after the bulls try and fail several times to break the strong selling pressure that exists below $ 10,000. There is even an analysis that Bitcoin is targeting to drop to $ 7,900.
Bitcoin price is at risk of falling below $ 9,000 shortly
Bitcoin price is approaching the main support that has been established in the range of $ 9,000 to $ 9,200 over the past few weeks.
As AZCoin News reported, after the news that a wallet address containing 50 BTC from Satoshi Era was suddenly resumed, investors were afraid someone would sell Bitcoin and cause a market crash. Therefore, Bitcoin’s ongoing regression was triggered by this news, but the multiple swift rejections have likely perpetuated that it has seen at $ 10,000 throughout the past several weeks.
Sell pressure is back in full force.
Buy the dip season is over.
Inflection points.
Swing shorts and scalping from here on out.

This weakness has caused Bitcoin to invalidate a previously sizeable ascending triangle pattern that some expanded had previously expected to give BTC a much-needed boost.
An analyst stated:
“I don’t like this extra-low of rollover we just got. I will let this play out to a lower low under ~ $ 9120 before officially declaring [the triangle] dead. Still, we don’t really have the solid uptrend written like for an ascending triangle any longer at this point. ”
How low will Bitcoin prices go to lows?

This weakness can be invalidated if Bitcoin can send a strong response to its support in the region below $ 9,000.
