However, it failed and on October 16, it reached a new low.  Under pressure, while fluctuating below the 8 000 USD barrier on local lows of 7 930 USD. Bitcoin is drastically spiraling to get a closer 7 400 USD mark. Moreover, Buyers absorbing downward movements, only to increase sentiment to drive prices lower in return, dictate current activity.
