No Buyers for Bitcoin at $8,000

According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin failed to recover after experiencing a 6.5% drop on Tuesday, now trading below $8,000. It is very likely that a global risk-off sentiment in the markets continues to put pressure on cryptocurrencies.

It is worth looking at how the market is likely to react, should BTC reach the recent low of $7,800 or February’s low of $6,300. What plays a major part in the cryptocurrency market is investor disappointment – new investors attracted to the market due to last year’s high returns are now losing faith and selling their assets during upswings.

Growth in trading volume has not pushed the price higher

The $8,000 mark is particularly important in terms of technical analysis. When BTC was trading around this level approximately a week ago, buyers showed interest, leading to a rebound in price that surpassed $9,000. Bitcoin’s trade volume, however, has decreased, with BTC falling again to $8,000.

During the last 24 hours, the market has registered growth in trading volume near the $8,000 mark, though this has not pushed the price higher. Such dynamic is often considered a strong selling signal as a result of too many sellers. Should the decline continue for Bitcoin, the trade volume dynamic around recent lows would require further analysis. The next level we are considering is $7,400, reached on March 18. Should there be no buyers there, the next important mark would most likely be around $6,000.
