After finding some levels of support around $10,000 yesterday, Bitcoin\u2019s bulls were unable to support its price above this level and BTC has now once again dropped into the upper-$9,000 region.<\/p>\n

Analysts are currently noting that it appears Bitcoin is currently caught within a consolidation phase, but it is highly improbable that this phase will extend much further, as another major movement is likely imminent.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Breaks Below $10,000<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin<\/a> is trading down just over 1% at its current price<\/a> of $9,900, which marks a slight retrace from its daily highs of nearly $10,100.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s dip below $10,000 comes as the crypto community reacts to a somewhat disappointing Bakkt launch, as the physically settled Bitcoin futures platform has not yet garnered any noteworthy utilization from large investors.<\/p>\n

The platform is still quite early into its launch and analysts are noting that it is still a very important development for the crypto markets, but it remains unclear as to whether or not Bakkt will actually catalyze any significant movement within the markets in the near-future.<\/p>\n

Jacob Canfield, a popular crypto analyst on Twitter, spoke to his over 30k followers on Twitter about BTC\u2019s current technical strength, explaining that it is gearing up for a big movement.<\/p>\n

\u201c#Bitcoin \/ $BTC \/ #BTC – Below most key MA’s on the daily time frame – Declining volume and volatility usually means a big move is coming – RSI wedge on support – Funding close to resetting with longs paying shorts the last month – Supports if we break down at $9500, $8800, $7000,\u201d he explained in a recent tweet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
