why'd bitcoin plummeted below 8k$

Bitcoin’s price fell below $8k on Thursday for the first time in three months, though the cryptocurrency is still more than double its level at the start of 2019, after the bull in December 2019

Catalysts for price action.

And while the next halving – a periodic reduction in bitcoin mining rewards, expected to occur around May 15, 2020 – is potentially bullish, both the technical and fundamental views point toward uncertain times ahead for BTC’s direction after its recent sell-off threw into question the long-term trend.

Soravis Srinawakoon, co-founder and CEO of decentralized data governance project Band Protocol, said:

:"Looking at the technical chart of Bitcoin, we’ve been seeing a squeeze in a descending triangle of the bitcoin price in the past few days. Combined with the recent disappointing launch of Bakkt, it is clear there is an overall negative macro sentiment in the market."
