Why is Bitcoin Price Down Today?
The BTC price today crashed by 2.50%, which can be attributed to the start of the week correction. Typically, Mondays are down days and price tends to correct and find support on Tuesday or Wednesday before it continues the dominant trend.

Will the trend remain bullish after this correction? Or has Bitcoin uptrend reached its end?
Is Bitcoin Uptrend Finished?
Yes, the Bitcoin uptrend could be coming to an end, at least for a short time and investors must expect a steep double-digit correction.
Here are two reasons why a short-term retracement is likely.
Considering Bitcoin’s price action over the past seven months, local tops were formed around the $70,000 psychological level. This is the first reason.
The second and most crucial reason that investors need to be aware of is how the weekend rally could have set up a trap for greedy bulls. The 1.55% upswing over Saturday and Sunday pushed past the October 18 swing high of $69,049. But the bullish momentum failed to support the uptrend, creating a bearish swing failure pattern. This technical formation is observed for the first time since October 10 and as a result, Bitcoin price prediction hints at a potential reversal.
