Bitcoin price plunges pushed down by this trigger
Bitcoin has demonstrated a 5.65% decline over the past 24 hours, mostly driven by a large hourly red candle. Falling from the $56,590 zone, it collapsed to $53,400. By now, a small increase of 1.53% has been added and the flagship cryptocurrency is changing hands at $54,354 per coin.

Behavior strategy in case Bitcoin falls to $40,000 by Samson Mow
Bitcoin bull and JAN3 Chief Executive Officer Samson Mow has published a tweet, sharing his take on the present state of the crypto market sentiment. He responded to the expectation that is beginning to form in the market by some traders that BTC might decline further and hit $40,000.
For those who believe in that scenario (himself not among those), Mow offered several options in which to act. The first one was “HODL + keep stacking.” The second one was slightly different — “HODL and stop stacking.” The third option was to sell all the BTC stash and “rage quit.” The last on the list came a suggestion to “sell everything + buy the bottom.”
However, Mow warned that since he believes that Bitcoin “will reach $1.0 million sooner or later,” there will first be “sat/cent parity” followed by “sat/dollar parity.” Therefore, he explained, options number two and four are “losing proposition.” Besides, trying to go for number four would take a lot of luck, Mow said.
Finally, Mow concluded his tweet by saying, “Given everything we know, option #1 is the only winning play.” Which is “HODL and keep stacking.”
