The world’s largest and first cryptocurrency plunges over 20% during the last seven days, touching a low of $7,757 on Friday and it is its lowest level since June. Meanwhile, for Bitcoin, it is its worst week this year. Bitcoin, known for its unpredictability, had relatively steady since August, trading in the range of $10,000 until this week. The sharp drops below $8,000 started Monday and continued to sell off all over the trading week. Other big digital currencies such as XRP and ether down about 19% and 24% respectively for the week.

Analysts were incompetent to point out one particular catalyst for the price down as usually the case in markets of cryptocurrency. One theory investor mentioned to was an uninspiring debut of an innovative bitcoin futures product. The parent company of the NY Stock Exchange, the Intercontinental Exchange, launched its futures contracts on Sunday on a Bakkt platform as a way to escort in new investors of bitcoin who might cautious about exchanges trading.

CEO of Genesis Trading, Michael Moro said that after the Bakkt launch there was a “sell the news” effect, particularly after what supposed as a low-volume launch. The expectation for Bakkt in Asia was really very high, and honestly or unethically, the launch calculates on as a positive catalyst of price. Furthermore, he expresses that the small demand for a new product is natural. However, upset investors of bitcoin sold and set out a waterfall of liquidation.

CEO of BKCM about Technical Level Broken

The CEO of BKCM, Brian Kelly, said that selling worsened by $9000 on Monday at the broken technical level. The next level investors are observing is $7500, the amount at which Kelly said drawing out bitcoin becomes unprofitable. The mining process of Bitcoin uses high computing power to contend and solve a compound math equation. Bitcoin gave as a reward to the winning miner for effectively completing the equation. Chief investment officer at digital asset manager Arca, Jeff Dorman said that none of the clarifications this week genuinely add up and he cannot think of a time when the price of crypto made less sense.

Dorman added, as no one has exact clarity beyond big moves, and speedy & violent price usually moves unpredictable, it factually possible at least to justify big moves after the fact. But decline started after its three days, and they’re still have not any logical explanations. The best clarification was investors selling on a gossip about a drop in harsh rates, which a scale of measure of how rapid miners of Bitcoin can solve equations, along with unsatisfactory launch for Bakkt. The selling made more inferior by declining loss liquidations, where people spontaneously sell when Bitcoin touches some specific level, Dorman said.

Moreover, he said the continuance of the selling pressure might center on misperception, as the market attempts to recover equilibrium despite the fact neither sellers nor buyers really realize why they are here in the first place. Still, Bitcoin approximately doubled since the start of the year. Prices got a lift when Facebook announced this summer its own planned cryptocurrency, libra, which analyst said carried more legitimacy to space. Bitcoin did not get even closer to its all-time high, about $20000 in December 2017.
