Bitcoin continues to lose position because of Elon Musk

Elon Musk has again put fear among investors that the cryptocurrency market is overheated, not to mention at the complete mercy of speculators. His recent Twitter posts compelled traders to sell their positions, so as a result, the value of Bitcoin slipped again, continuing the bearish trend it was experiencing for two weeks already. Many believe that Musk is doing this to test the strength of the market, or to make Bitcoin cheaper so that he can gain new large positions.

But some are convinced that Musk really sold his positions, especially after the large inflow seen on various cryptocurrency exchanges. To add to that, Musk responded to a Twitter post that says he might have sold his positions already given the amount of hate he is receiving. Musk answered "Indeed", shaking the confidence of investors. Such led to a 10% drop in Bitcoin, bringing it to a new three-month low. Although on Monday morning, he made it clear that Tesla has not sold its bitcoins yet, so the price bounced back to $ 45,000.

Obviously, Musk's statements have been the main driver of the crypto market this year. Bitcoin hit $ 64,000 when Tesla revealed that it invested $ 1.5 billion in the cryptocurrency. And on a Twitter post, Musk said Tesla's recent earnings report proves that Bitcoin can be used as an alternative to keeping cash on a balance sheet.

But now, pressure on the market has returned, even amid Musk's assurances that Tesla has not sold a single bitcoin. Apparently, there was a one-day transfer of 20,000 BTC to Bitfinex last week, bringing the rate down below $ 58,000.

And just this weekend, price has fallen below $47,500, hitting $43,000. If Bitcoin continues to trade downwards, it might reach $37,900 this week, or as low as $33,300. The range will be $39,500 - $33,300. But if Bitcoin returns to $47,500, it will have an opportunity to reach $52,000 again.
