Bitcoin price is coming under renewed pressure in the latter stages of trading on Thursday, dropping over 4% in around 1 hour. The cooling of the prices across the board continues, which commenced on the 24th December.

BTC/USD price was trading within an extremely narrow range since the 25th December, a range-block formation could be observed. This type of price behaviour is typically subject to a breakout to the downside.

Given the recent breach, eyes are once again on the $3000 mark. It appears that the bear market is not over just yet. As sellers remain on the front foot heading into the end of the year. A failure of $3000 holding on the potential retest, could see a drop towards $2000-1500.
