Bitcoin, the world's largest crypto token, fell below $39,700 for the first time since the launch of 11 spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) on January 11.
«The crypto market continues to witness selling pressure as Bitcoin ETFs have made entry and exit into the investment vehicle very easy. Users may have liquidated their positions to book profits and created new positions anticipating the next rally. The next market mover can be the rate cut announcement by the US Fed which it signalled at the end of 2023,» said Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin.
Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex, said, «Bitcoin remains below the crucial $40,000 threshold, currently undergoing correction at $39,700 after a recent decline. The present trading level may attract increased buying interest, given the clear support at $38,500. If this support proves ineffective, the next support level is expected at $37,800, and resistance on the upside is positioned at $40,350.»
