Goldman Sachs analyst Sheba Jafari released a new analysis of bitcoinâs outlook, calling the recent price drop below $10,000 a possible correction.
According to Zero Hedge, which published details of the client note, Jafari suggested that the market could find a base around $9,978. If the drop is actually part of a correction, prices will stabilize and even possibly reverse at this level.
âWatch for signs of a base ahead of 9,978. Setup weakens through 9,836. Turn neutral/cautious through 7,882,â Jafari wrote, according to the site.
Jafariâs analysis, which was released late Tuesday afternoon, noted that bitcoin was ânearing interesting levelsâ at the time.
Whether Jafariâs reasoning proves true remains to be seen, as the market turbulence that began on Tuesday continued into Wednesdayâs session. According to CoinDeskâs Bitcoin Price Index (BPI), bitcoinâs price dropped to a low $9,199.59 before beginning to rebound.
The price of bitcoin is trading at roughly $10,027 as of press time. Bitcoinâs drop below $10,000 is the first time it has done so since the beginning of December 2017, as previously reported.
