Bitcoin Falls Through Key Average as Traditional Markets Hit Record Highs

View Strong performances in traditional assets and a lack of new reasons to buy crypto is suppressing BTC's price.

A loss of the 50-day moving average exposes the $8,000 price level.

Bitcoin is at risk of another sell-off after its price fell beneath a key moving average on Nov. 15, as a relatively strong.

Performance by traditional assets caught investor attention.

According to Jeff Dorman, CIO at Arca, an investment management firm dealing in digital assets, BTC's drop in price is inversely correlated to the strength of global markets, including record highs of the DJIA, this week.

At 14:00 UTC, BTC fell 2.1 percent breaking through the 50-day moving average, flagging potential for a deeper drawdown from Oct. 25's peak of $10,350.

The loss of the 50-day MA means the price of BTC could fall through the $8,000 level, and, if combined with a looming long-term bear cross of the 100 and 200-day MA's, could confirm a long-term bearish indicator.

The RSI, a measurement of trader momentum and sentiment, did not exceed the neutral line at 50.00 after falling beneath that point on Nov. 10, hinting at greater selling pressure for next week.

Total daily volume has remained flat since Nov. 12, meaning that there has been no new reason to buy or sell.
