This recent dump is hinting at a new weekly higher low compared to $8,833. For now, bulls have been able to defend the weekly 12-EMA at $10,598 and could still bounce back up in the long-term. One theory says that Bitcoin miners are ready to sell their coins and are in fact selling them already, possibly causing the recent selling pressure. According to ByteTree, Bitcoin miners sold 63% more coins than what they have generated in the same period of time.
