Bitcoin (BTC) slides below $9,000 amid strong bearish momentum

Bitcoin is declining rapidly. At the time of writing, the first digital coin is trading close to critical $9,000, down 2% since the beginning of the day. The downside momentum has been gaining traction after the price broke below critical SMA200 (Simple Moving Average) on a daily chart. The psychological $9,000 is under threat now. Once it is out of the way, the sell-off may be extended towards SMA50 daily ($8,600) and to $8,400. This barrier served as strong resistance for the most part of October.
