Bitcoin price down 14% as bears make a hattrick

It’s been three days that bitcoin has been clashing with bears and coming out defeated. On September 5, Bitcoin has been sitting at $7,380 when bulls first attacked the market. This took the leading cryptocurrency on a downward spiral, having lost over 14% since then. Today, Bitcoin started its day at $6,516 only to drop down to the $6,322 level.

With a market cap of $111 billion, BTC dominance is still doing good at 54.9%. Also, the daily trading volume of Bitcoin is at $4.9 billion. BitMEX accounts for the largest crypto trading volume of Bitcoin in terms of derivatives, no wonders there, given the fact that Bitcoin shorts are spiking.
