The cryptocurrency crash continues as Bitcoin fell below $30,000 on Tuesday, a critical ‘key support’ level that has investors anxious about a mass selloff.
Although Bitcoin was trading at its highest peak in April, above $60,000, according to FactSet, the cryptocurrency fell 3.9% to $29,688.20—its lowest in a whole month.
In a Tuesday note, chief analyst at Ava Trade, Naeem Aslam, said, “The digital asset has broken through its key support level of $30,000, it is critical that the digital coin regains ground above the $30,000 level, as a significant breach could result in a massive technical selloff”.

But despite the slide, Aslam also notes that, with the asset’s relative strength index approaching the oversold zone, there could be a recovery around the corner and investors can expect the crypto to bounce back.
Fellow cryptocurrency Ethereum also fell 1.5%, as did Dogecoin, which was down 0.7%. Experts cite China’s ongoing crackdown on crypto trading as the driving force behind the continuous crash. The country has placed a ban on trading in Bitcoin and banned popular apps from trading using crypto.
