At press time, it stands at $9,220, having dropped 2% in the past 24 hours. The pioneer crypto hit $8,910 earlier today, its lowest since late May, but has since bounced back.

Bitcoin’s price drop correlates with a decline in the stock market amid fears of a second wave of COVID-19 infections. The S&P fell over 1%, with the airline and travel-related stocks seeing the most significant declines.

Other cryptos haven’t fared any better in the past 24 hours either. Cardano

BUY NOW, Stellar BUY NOW, Chainlink, and NEO BUY NOW all recorded over 5% drops in their prices over the past 24 hours.

What’s Next for Bitcoin’s Price

Despite Bitcoin dropping to a three-week low today, an upward reversal seems most likely in the short term. As BeInCrypto reported, the crypto has been trading inside a descending wedge which is considered a bullish reversal pattern.

However, the bearish sentiment remains in play. Bitcoin breached the $9,300 support level and the 50-day moving average which halted a similar decrease on June 11. This is a bearish sign and indicates the price will go lower, possibly testing a new support level at $8,800.

Bitcoin’s put-call volume ratio is also at 1.79, its highest since March 12, a day that has come to be known as Black Thursday. On that day, Bitcoin lost over 40% of its value in hours. Bitcoin’s put-call volume ratio, which indicates the ratio between the bearish and bullish bets, hit 1.89 then, preceding the huge drop. The ratio is approaching that yearly high once again, a bearish sign.
