Bitcoin Continues to Crash- Is BTC/USD Going After $5000?

On Monday, Bitcoin collapsed to a new 13-month low, with the biggest cryptocurrency touching $5264.9 on the Bitfinex. The bearish rally doesn’t seem like it would stop until it tests $5,000.

Earlier, BTC/USD traded in a descending triangle pattern which provided it with a solid support at $6,160 and a resistance at $6,600. The 20 & 50 periods moving averages kept it in a bearish trend and then the crypto finally broke downward.
