Bitcoin skids to test the lows of the week, falling nearly $2000

Bitcoin has fallen nearly $2000 in the last 30 minutes, dropping to $57,600.

The low so far matches the one from earlier in the week and that should provide some support.

A break lower could complete the round trip to $55,000 and wouldn’t bode well for the broader risk trade.

As for the catalyst, it may be Mt Gox money moving sending a trial transaction. The $2.1 billion worth of bitcoin could be sold and bitcoin bulls don’t want to get swept away by that momentum.
