BTC/USD: Bitcoin market remains unchanged as bulls fail to take action

  • BTC/USD remains relatively unchanged at $3,522 after its price fell from $3,730 to $3,590 last Sunday, hitting the support area.
  • Bulls need to rally back to make sure that the price doesn’t go below the $ 3,525 support line.

BTC/USD has remained relatively stable at around $3,520 on Tuesday, with buyers and sellers on a relative stand-off since last Sunday when BTC/USD’s price fell from $3,730 to $3,590 based on market speculation. This reluctance of bulls to take action comes across as uncertainty towards the market. The buyers need to make sure that the market remains above the $3,525 support line to avoid any further drops.
