The bitcoin price strongly rejected the $10,000 level for the third time in the past two weeks<\/a>, each time establishing a lower low. A top trader foresees BTC struggling to recover beyond $10k in the near future as momentum slows down.<\/p>\n After initially surging above $10,500, the bitcoin price has not shown any strong sign of bullish market continuation.<\/p>\n Despite attempts to push the market up by whales using spoof orders or fake buy orders at key support levels, bitcoin broke down at $10,000 every time BTC tested it since February 11.<\/p>\n It could indicate that the entire run up from the $8,000s to $10,500<\/a> was primarily driven by margin trading platforms like BitMEX and Binance Futures.<\/p>\n When the market needed actual retail demand to push it above $10,000 with strength, it did not see sufficient volume and momentum to do so.<\/p>\n DonAlt, a reowned cryptocurrency trader, said<\/a>:<\/p>\n ‘Still looking good for bears in my opinion. Given that I’m trading counter-trend, I moved my stop another step down just above $10000. If I’m correct we won’t see $10000 again for quite a while.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\nWhy bitcoin is falling despite halving<\/h2>\n
