Bearish sentiments are looming in the market with Bitcoin having plunged significantly below $10,200. Bitcoin is currently trading at $10,144. According to a trader who goes by the name of Mayne on Twitter, this fall could continue and take Bitcoin to $9K. 

This is the first time Bitcoin has witnessed such lows since September 2, even though the past week has seen Bitcoin price behave quite erratically. Bitcoin was trading at $9757 on Sept 2, and it rose to $10346 in 24 hours. The bull run continued and Bitcoin closed $10,623 on Sept 3. Bitcoin continued to trade around the $10,600 over the next couple of days. 

On Sept 6, the day of the Bakkt warehouse launch, Bitcoin spiked up to $10,898, but, it could not maintain its bullish movement for long and tumbled down to $10,300 in less than 8 hours. It hovered around the $10,500 mark on Sept 7 and Sept 8, and today, it has fallen below $10,200.  

A crypto trader who goes by the name of Mayne on Twitter has predicted that Bitcoin might be heading to $9K. 

He had tweeted that if Bitcoin began an upward movement after $10,400 it has a shot at $11K, which might even take it to a high of $11.5K. However, it seems that Bitcoin will be dumped, and if it goes below $10,200 then the “$9k equal lows are calling”. 

Shortly after his tweet, Bitcoin plunged below the $10,200. So far, it is down $3.81% of its price on the day before. Altcoins are also bleeding, but not as much as Bitcoin. At press time, Ethereum is down $2.07%, XRP $1.62%, Bitcoin Cash $2.09%, and Litecoin $2.39%. 

It seems as if the Bakkt warehouse launch frenzy has worn off and a bearish mood has taken over. Bitcoin had behaved in a similar manner at the time of the launch of CME’s Bitcoin futures when from $19371 on December 18, 2917, it had fallen over $2000 the next day to $17,275. What will happen around the launch of the Bakkt trading platform remains to be seen?
