These price fluctuations are often created by faulty quotes or reactions from trading bots. Experts often emphasize that real rallies require sustained buying pressure and rising volume. In this case, trading volume remained low, and the price quickly returned to its previous level. BTC Price Remains Bearish – What is the Next Directional Move?
