Bitcoin\u2019s insane plunge seen early this morning has shown no signs of slowing down as the benchmark cryptocurrency\u2019s bulls seem to disappear. This intense downtrend has now cut as deep as $4,800 and has put BTC at jeopardy of seeing a movement down to its post-2017 crash lows of $3,300.<\/p>\n

This latest movement to sub-$5,000 has left a trail of destruction in its wake, leading another $120 million in long positions to be liquidated in a mere matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

Analysts are now noting that there is barely any buying pressure between Bitcoin\u2019s current price and $4,000 \u2013 suggesting significantly further downside could be imminent.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Crashes as Buying Pressure Disappears<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin<\/a> is trading just below $5,000, which marks a massive decline<\/a> from daily highs of nearly-$8,000 that were set around this time yesterday.<\/p>\n

This has led many analysts to note that the cryptocurrency could be poised to see significantly further near-term downside, as the unprecedented nature of this ongoing movement has baffled investors and has led BTC\u2019s buying pressure to dissipate.<\/p>\n

Hsaka, a popular cryptocurrency analyst<\/a> and trader on Twitter, spoke about the current state of Bitcoin in a recent tweet, pointing to an order book showing that there is very little support between BTC\u2019s current price and $4,000.<\/p>\n
