Bitcoin reminded investors of its high volatility in the world’s biggest crypto market as it lost about $1400 in just 30minutes, a few hours ago.

“Clearing resistance at $10,000-$10,500, which coincided with the downtrend line from the late 2017 highs and first-quarter 2020 highs, established a higher high for Bitcoin confirming a new tactical uptrend,” according to Rob Sluymer, the technical strategist at Fundstrat Global Advisors LLC.
Bitcoin’s plunge was bad news for the bulls. By falling back around the $11,000 psychological support, it has shown a likely downward trend as investors start to close their positions.

Why it happened: The price of Bitcoin is so volatile because of its high use for financial gain and speculating advantages used by global investors and crypto traders.
