A few Bitcoin price analysts are calling a new bottom in price after the biggest cryptocurrency lost 20% against the dollar in 36 hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n Capping what continues to be a difficult year for Bitcoin, prices suddenly dived<\/a> as markets digested news Japanese regulators were preparing to shut down<\/a> several of the country\u2019s exchanges.<\/p>\n Japan\u2019s half-billion-dollar hack<\/a> in January, together with huge Bitcoin sell-offs<\/a> related to reimbursing fellow Japanese exchange Mt.Gox\u2019s creditors, have broadly erased any enthusiasm resulting from Bitcoin\u2019s technical advances in recent weeks.<\/p>\n Now that sentiment appears to be hitting fresh lows, so are prices\u00a0across the board, commentators suggest on social media, while others remain bearish.<\/p>\n Producing a historical chart versus the dollar, Twitter account Satoshi Sonic noted current price action could form part of a pattern going back several years. Based on performance over the last few hours of March 8, a reversal appears imminent.<\/p>\n \u2014 Satoshi Sonic (@SatoshiSonic) March 9, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The previous downward spike on Sonic\u2019s chart occurred recently \u2013 just last month. At the time, more conservative technical analysts correctly guessed a price bottom lay around $6,000.<\/p>\n In fresh comments Friday, however, one of them, Tone Vays, warned traders<\/a> of a lack of support should Bitcoin price stay below Bitcoin\u2019s 50-day moving average.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s not a pullback, that\u2019s a full-blown downtrend,\u201d he said, adding that should prices close below $7500, he would be \u201clooking for targets at $5000 and below.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile in line with previous bullish appraisals of BTC\/USD, fellow analyst known as Parabolic Trav repeated calls<\/a> that prices were in a boom-and-bust pattern and that fresh upside was about to begin.<\/p>\n Publishing a similar historical price chart which edited out all-time highs from December 2017, Trav likewise viewed Friday\u2019s drop to $8600 as the downward spike which \u201cconfirms continuation of uptrend.\u201d<\/p>\n [Disclaimer: This news article should not be taken as trading advice.
