Prominent European indices like Germany as DAX, France as CAC, and the U.K. as FTSE fell more than 3%, due to this sudden rise of the pressure in selling out bitcoins and assets. There has been a steep decline of the European stocks and the U.S future stocks along with a rise in the worth of the US dollar which is way more than the top cryptocurrency market cap.
Bitcoin is currently trading in the “red zone” which is very alarming. It was near $10,650, down by 2.9% in a day. They have already failed to cross the level of $11,000 earlier. The data and the figures are very alarming for the economy which is actually having a large impact over the global economy.
One important reason for the falling of the equities is the fear of the recent increase of the corona cases” in the European nations which are hitting directly not in their favour. This surging incident is forcing equity holders to sell their portions and in return, Europe is about to hit the surface once again and that is alarming.

There is a possibility of a breakdown, a bearish-pattern is found on the hourly-chart. This might expose the “100-day average support” near $10,400. The falling value of the bitcoin economy has affected the dash for the US dollar which is a global reserve currency.
