On Tuesday morning, Bitcoin price slipped below $8,500 once again after the cryptocurrency managed a slight comeback over the weekend. Its trading volume was not sufficient to maintain the latest bull run.
BTC/USD Back Down To $8,200. The sell-off Subsides.
As of 12:30 PM EST, Bitcoin price is sitting at around $8,200. However, BTC/USD is currently on another upward trend that is testing a major resistance level at $8,250. A break above that could send Bitcoin price further toward the $8,300 mark it was trading at earlier today. The major support level for BTC/USD is held at $8,100.
The good news for investors is that last week’s bearish trend seems to have run out of steam. The low trading volume certainly indicates that the sell-off has subsided. Should further bullish trends arise later this week, a rally back to $8,500 is very likely.
