Is Bitcoin price set to plunge below $90k?

Image
Since reaching an all-time high (ATH) price of $108,130 on December 17, Bitcoin (BTC) has been subject to intense selling pressure. By December 20, prices had receded to as low as $92,810 — and although the recovery was quick, the leading cryptocurrency has struggled to reclaim the $100,000 mark. BTC did shoot up to $102,250 on January 7 — but it was not to last, as a quick correction followed. From then on, Bitcoin steadily traded at prices close to $95,000. Now, on January 13, the premier digital asset experienced significant downward momentum — prices have dropped from a high of $95,900 to just $90,820 at press time.  Picks for you Crypto expert says XRP could hit $4 in the ‘next couple of days’ 16 mins ago Laurel Lee net worth reve...

Image
The failed rally above $2,000 on May 6 has proven that ETH bulls are nowhere near comfortable adding leveraged longs. After a brief overshoot above $2,000 on May 6, the Ether (ETH) price has returned to the tight range between $1,820 and $1,950, which has been the norm for the past three weeks.
