Declining Trading Volumes
Not only the price but also the trading volume of bitcoin has dropped significantly during the past few days. Yesterday, at the start of the day, the trading volume of bitcoin was around $7.25 billion which has dropped to around $6.15 billion at the end of the day. Also today, it has dropped even further down below to around $5.6 billion.
The overall market conditions are quite bearish as bitcoin is not being able to break the key resistances every time the bulls start to run. Just before the resistance level, the bears push the price below making its nearly impossible for bitcoin to rise above. According to market analysts, bitcoin will remain in a bearish trend for at least a couple of months before bulls can actually start to act. The price of bitcoin will most likely fall below $3000 before the year-end and may turn up to $2500 or $2000 in the upcoming few months.
