Bitcoin Price Plummets to $9,350 in a Flash<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin price <\/a>has been in a confusing state, ranging back and forth between highs above $10,000 and support at $9,500.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that support just failed, giving way to what could end up being a much deeper drop, and the end to the early 2020 rally.<\/span><\/p>\n

The moment that support failed, Bitcoin plummeted to support at the monthly open around $9,350 before it began bouncing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The drop to $9,350 also coincides with a high-volume node, making it prime target for short-sellers to target longs ready for the next move higher.<\/span><\/p>\n

If $9,350 holds, it could be the final retest of monthly support before a push higher. <\/span><\/p>\n

The latest move took BitMEX<\/a> open interest down, although the metric still remains high, signaling that even more volatile price action is likely ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n
