Analysts believe the recent breakdown was majorly the cause of miners selling BTC

For about two weeks, Bitcoin bulls have been struggling to break the $19,740 to $20,000 resistance zone. After four failed attempts, the BTC price was finally repelled.

Traders believe that the breakdown will extend to the low of $16,000 if the selling pressure persists. Analysts believe the recent breakdown was majorly the cause of miners selling BTC. Another possible reason is the exchanges selling their earnings from fees charged.

The $18,500 support which has been proving upside momentum has been broken by the bears as the coin continued to fall. Bitcoin is trading at $17,920 at the time of writing. As the downward movement continues, Bitcoin will find support at either the $17,400 or $16,600 price levels. It is likely the bulls will buy the dips to push the crypto upward. However, if BTC fails to find support at these levels, the coin will drop to $15,800.
