The leading crypto asset by market cap, Bitcoin<\/a>, is once again trading in the low $7,000 range after taking a short trip below the level to as low as $6,500 before rebounding to the current price of $7175.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Bitcoin now retesting former lows as support, the chance of the first-ever cryptocurrency setting a new bear market low is a reality that crypto investors may need to face, however, the market is torn as to whether that outcome is a realistic one or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crypto Investors Split On Bitcoin Bottom Being In<\/span><\/h2>\n

Financial markets, like the cryptocurrency space, are driven by a number of dynamics including fundamentals, technicals, and even the emotional state of the investors making up the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the crypto market, hype and speculation are the primary drivers of price and perceived value. This gives Bitcoin<\/a> and other cryptocurrencies their notorious price volatility as sentiment swings back and forth in either direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

The market has long been convinced that Bitcoin had bottomed back in December 2018, resulting in a powerful breakout in April 2019 that took the price of Bitcoin up over 350% to as high as $14,000 from the $3,100 low.<\/span><\/p>\n

But now that Bitcoin<\/a> is once again trading as low as $6,500 \u2013 prices not seen since the 2018 price floor that eventually gave way, taking Bitcoin to its bottom at $3,100 \u2013 crypto investors are now once again wondering if the bottom is actually in, and if lows under $3,000 are a realistic expectation or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a Twitter poll<\/a> shared by ColdBloodedShiller, the market is torn as to whether or not such an expectation is realistic or unrealistic. In fact, the poll results are almost split completely down the middle, suggesting that the market is currently in a state of confusion and could go either way.<\/span><\/p>\n
