The leading cryptocurrency by market cap, Bitcoin<\/a>, has once again broken below $8,000 after the repeated defense of the critical support level<\/a> by bullish crypto investors. <\/span>Now that bears are back in control, they\u2019ve already pushed Bitcoin price to as low as $7,500, putting Bitcoin is at risk of further downside. <\/span><\/p>\n But where are the key levels where a bounce may occur, and when will the crypto asset return to a bull market?<\/span><\/p>\n In late October, a powerful bullish impulse from $7,400 to $10,500, setting the crypto asset\u2019s third-largest one-day gain in its short, decade-long history, caused the entire market to turn bullish once again, despite weeks of ongoing downtrend.<\/span><\/p>\n The thought was that Bitcoin<\/a> doesn\u2019t perform so well and have such enormous gains outside of a bull market, however, the entire move may have been nothing more than a massive short squeeze and bearish retest of former support turned resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n However, the powerful rally has all but been erased at this point, with the first-ever cryptocurrency falling to $7,500 this morning after a break of $8,000. <\/span>Bitcoin price dropped below $8,000<\/a>, and not even 24 hours later, another $500 was wiped out in value from the crypto asset.<\/span><\/p>\n Bulls have thus far been able to defend $7,500, causing a slight bounce to as high as $7,650 as of the time of this writing, but the defense is already starting to fail and return to declining prices. <\/span><\/p>\n Support at this level, ranging from $7,300 where the previous major reversal occurred, through $7,500 is a critical level that bulls must defend to prevent a much deeper drop into the $6,000 range.<\/span><\/p>\n If bulls aren\u2019t able to defend current levels, a push to as low as $6,600 to the bottom of the downtrend channel Bitcoin<\/a> has been trading within since June is likely to result.<\/span><\/p>\n However, if bulls can defend this level, they must reclaim above $8,000 for a chance to return to a bull market. Otherwise, Bitcoin price could fall further into a continued bear market and potentially set a new bear market low.<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading | Emotional Rollercoaster: Bitcoin Could Follow the Amazon Fractal, Big Upside Potential\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nBitcoin Price Breaches $8,000, Quickly Returns to $7,500<\/h2>\n
