Bitcoin is trying hard to hold above $10,000 after dipping below it

According to the data from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin is trading in the $10,200 area. Earlier today, the flagship cryptocurrency dipped to the $9,925 zone.

But now it has returned back above the crucial $10,000 support.

As covered by U.Today earlier, Bitcoin market is shaking the weak hands at the moment as users are starting to cash out their BTC holdings.

Besides, Bitcoin’s Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) has dropped below 1. This metric measures the profit ratio of Bitcoin wired on-chain and it has gone below 1 for the first time since April, as reported by Glassnode. This confirms the fact of investors beginning to get rid of their BTC at the moment.
