  • Bitcoin dropped by a sharp 5% today as the cryptocurrency breaks beneath $7,000 and heads toward $6,800.
  • It has found support at a rising trend line but a break beneath this could cause a severe price capitulation toward $6,000.

Bitcoin dropped by a sharp 5% today as the cryptocurrency falls beneath the $7,000 support level to reach $6,800. If you have been following these articles, you will know that $6,800 is a very important area as it provided strong resistance for the market during March 2020 and, therefore, is expected to provide strong support moving forward.

The coin is now trading at support provided by a rising support trend line, however, a break of this trend line could cause Bitcoin to unwind toward the $6,000.
