Nonco Market Color 4/9
Price action
$BTC came back down, bears took advantage of the lack of follow through from bulls. No support sell off, pure selling from high 72000s to mid 68000s, so almost 6% down since the high. $ETH had it a bit worse being down 7% in even less time. Traders see this pullback as the last opportunity for bulls to reclaim and continue a trend higher in the short term.
