10.5% of the total supply of #bitcoin was transacted between 31 and 34k.
That means a lot of BTC could be panic sold if we head lower which of course ends up having a cascading effect as more panic sellers create more panic sellers. pic.twitter.com/FyheU3Ugz4

The $30K support was crucial for Bitcoin to hold. Technical charts suggest a successive correction for a dip under the next support levels. The next consecutive Bitcoin support levels to watch out for are $28K, $26K, $22K, and $19K.
