The pain in the cryptocurrency market is far from over as BSV, Stellar Lumens (XLM) and many other cryptocurrencies bleed into the weekend this Friday. This is the same thing that happened last Friday and the Friday before. It seems like Friday is the day to get rid of all weekly gains that may have been accumulated. This morning, BTC started by decline by falling to $3,290 from $3,400. This means it revisited the December 8 low that marked a new yearly low. It is important that BTC bounces out of this zone to avoid falling below the $3000 level. However, it is unlikely that BTC will be this lucky for the third time.

There are chances of the price dropping even lower before the new week starts. It is indeed a bloody Friday for the industry. The next few days of trading will determine if the price action will change or not. All traders can do is wait and see.
