Bitcoin Stalls Before The $20K level

Last week, Bitcoin was on a price swing with little or no control over its movement. The primary crypto asset even went down to the $18K region after several attempts to anchor its price on $20K. The release of the US job report created an impact taking BTC to $18,200

However, changes started to occur with increasing volatility in the crypto market. The leading cryptocurrency made more surges from the start of this week. The token movement stalled relatively in the early hour of Monday but later picked the same. As a result, the price of Bitcoin rose again to the $19,000 region and gradually maintained its hold on the level.

BTC later hit $19,700 this week. Also, kept looking for a more bullish push that could take it to the coveted $20K. However, the situation in the entire crypto market has suddenly twisted in a downward direction. As a result, Bitcoin couldn’t push through with a further move to the $20K level.

At the time of press, BTC is trading at around $19,092, indicating a drop over the past 24 hours. Also, its market cap is currently at $366.91 billion, and its dominance over altcoins sits at 39.88%.

Based on data from the on-chain analysis, there have been several suggestions for further pain in the future for BTC. The belief is that Bitcoin displays a similar trading trend to the 2018 bear market.
