The total market valuation of the crypto market has dropped below $1 trillion as bitcoin dropped by almost over $7,000 from above $40K to $32.8K earlier in the day, according to data by CoinMarketCap.<\/p>\n
The top coin dipped massively after showing signs of consolidation above $40K in what seemed like a much-anticipated dip that saw investors aggressively buy the dip and push its price above $36k.<\/p>\n

According to on-chain analysis platform Santiment, Bitcoin is showing strong signs of bouncing back together with key altcoins.<\/p>\n
\u201c#Bitcoin dropped all the way to $32.6 two hours ago, and now appears to be bouncing back in a big way alongside many #altcoins. If a dip was being waited on, it appears to have been scooped up rapidly as $BTC trading volume is steadily rising.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n At press time, bitcoin is down 15.9% trading at around $32.6K in the biggest dip of 2021 and with a market cap of $613 billion. On Twitter, crypto analyst Crypto-bird affirmed that this dip was one of the many that are to be expected between January and February.<\/p>\n \u201cThat might be one of those fancy 30-40% $BTC retracements I was telling you to expect in January-February.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n As reported earlier, Bitcoin advocate Pompliano advised investors that such high volatility will occur along the way, but Bitcoin\u2019s long term value, a store of value remains unaffected.<\/p>\n According to crypto analysts Bitcoin LIZ, the ongoing dip is healthy and investors need only to trade strategically instead of being influenced emotionally by the market.<\/p>\n \u201cEVERYONE was buying #Bitcoin at #41000 because of FOMO now at $35000 no one dares to because it\u2019s gonna go lower. This dip is healthy. It\u2019s what we need. Just follow your strategy and don\u2019t follow emotions.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Another analyst, whale Map,\u00a0also estimates that if bitcoin drops below $30K, there is a great support area above $29K but a further drop and consolidation below $28,728 could signal the start of a bear market.<\/p>\n \u201cGreat support at $29,315.wicks to $28,728.Looks solid. Consolidation below $28,728 is a bear sign.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Data by on-chain analysis platform CryptoDiffer shows that a total of $2.5 billion was liquidated across exchanges in the last 24 hours. On crypto exchange BitMEX, $241,915 people converted their crypto assets into cash including a single order that liquidated $8.72 million worth of BTC.<\/p>\n Crypto Analyst and trader Michael van de Poppe says that according to charts, a decreasing amount of BTC on exchanges is a bullish sign.<\/p>\n \u201cThis chart tells you that the amount of #Bitcoin on exchanges decreased heavily during the entire run. And is still decreasing. Those investors don\u2019t sell on this 15% drop, neither should you. It\u2019s an investment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nBitcoin Dip Was Expected<\/strong><\/h2>\n
