Bitcoin price suddenly fell back below the psychologically important $20,000 level.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency reached an intraday low of $19,448 at 4:20 UTC on the Bitstamp trading platform.

Long positions represent 94.94% of the positions surveyed.

The price of the digital currency FTT suddenly dropped by 14% in one hour.

The price of the coin is now down an astonishing 28% in the last 24 hours.
