The bitcoin sinks to $ 8,000, and its falls and the regulatory siege activate all the alerts in the cryptocurrency market, deflated by more than 400,000 million dollars.
The current correction of bitcoin is unprecedented in recent times, neither by its magnitude nor by its duration. Those suffered during 2017 were short-lived, and did not prevent Bitcoin from closing the year with a spectacular revaluation of more than 1300%.
The balance of what goes on 2018 gives much more adverse figures. Since the beginning of the year, it has touched 40% of the fall. This percentage is close to 60% if you take as a reference the nearly $ 20,000 that reached its historical records in mid-December.
The psychological barrier of $ 10,000 has not been supported. In the previous days he returned to lower this level for the second time in two weeks. But unlike what happened in January, now investors have continued with their rout, collecting the capital gains obtained in 2017.
The result is an additional fall higher than the double digits, which moves its price of $ 10,000 and plunges its price to register minimums below even below $ 8,000 today. With this avalanche of sales, fruit of its largest weekly decline since 2013, returns to the levels with which it was quoted last November
