The post BTC Price Drops Below $40K, Time to Buy Bitcoin or Wait for More Dump ? appeared first on Coinpedia - Fintech & Cryptocurreny News Media| Crypto Guide
The cryptocurrency market has started the new week on a negative note, with the majority of altcoins trading in the red.
The market capitalization has dropped to slightly over $1.9 trillion. Bitcoin has dropped below the $40k mark which was a crucial support and resistance.
At this time, the only thing that matters is where the daily candle closes. If buyers can seize the opportunity and hold above the $37,000 level, a breakout might occur, followed by a return to $40,000.
Bitcoin Exchange Flow
Though there has been a mix of Bitcoin entering and exiting exchanges in recent days, Glassnode’s weekly data shows that the king coin has been retreating into wallets on a consistent basis.

Even though more than $6 billion entered and exited the markets over the preceding week, Data from 11 April revealed net outflows of around $229.9 million.
According to a Santiment analysis, transactions by Bitcoin whales worth more than $100,000 no longer dominate the scene.
In fact, since roughly 2012, they have made up the smallest percentage of BTC network volume. This indicates the advent of more mainstream firms with their own methods of market influence.
A new @santimentfeed study shows that #Bitcoin whale transactions (any transaction exceeding $100k), are at the lowest proportion of total $BTC volume since August, 2012. The rise of retail investors and #crypto popularity have played a major role.
