After 46 consecutive days of trading above $42,000, (BTC) price started to show weakness on Sept. 21. The 13% cumulative loss over the past three days was sufficient to wipe out the hard-earned gains since Aug. 6. The historical data shows that the last bearish cycle required 79 days before it reached the critical $42,000 level.

Surprisingly, China’s equity market, measured using the iShares MSCI ChinaETF ($MCHI) on Sept. 21, rebounded 1%.
