Bloody Weekend: Bitcoin Price Tumbles Below $9K – Recording $1000 Loss In 5-Days

The crypto investors suffer from hard days recently, as the primary cryptocurrency tumbled approximately $1000 over the past five days.

After a long battle to maintain the $9K mark, Bitcoin finally lost, and immediately plunged to $8816 on Binance Futures exchange, which is the current daily low, as of writing these lines.

Aside from a quick glitch on June 15, the last time the price of Bitcoin was trading below the $9000 mark was exactly a month ago, on May 27, 2020.

Wall Street Nightmares

Yesterday, the USA recorded its highest daily number of new COVID19 cases. The global fear from a second wave had sent the markets for a deep dive on Friday.

U.S. major indices finished the Friday trading session with an average decline of 2.5%, while Facebook (FB) stock dropped more than 8%. Unfortunately to the Bitcoin bulls, the primary cryptocurrency is recently following the markets, despite the fact that as it seemed yesterday, Bitcoin nicely held the $9000 – $9200 price area, today was a different story.
