BTC has fallen to 26,323 USD by Friday. The weekly loss is currently 9.55%.
So, the market has passed below important support at 26,500 USD. What’s next? Next, we should all be cautious because it seems that buyers have not put much effort into defending this support. Exchanges closed long positions in BTC at 21.6m USD the day before and at least another 18.4m USD today.
If Friday closes the BTC below 26,500 USD, the nearest target for the bears will be at 23,600 USD.
The cryptocurrency market capitalisation has fallen to 1.100 trillion USD by today. The share of BTC on the floor fell to 46.3%, while the share of ETH rose to 19.6%.
