There is a significant amount of support just below at the $900 level and again at the $800 level. If we sliced through those areas, the game is probably over. The $600 level will be targeted at that point, but clearly this is not the time to get involved in the market.

  BTC/USDBitcoin has collapsed again during the trading session on Friday, already hitting the target that I had spoken about yesterday. We are now below that level, and it looks as if the 13,000 level may give way as well. If it does, the next target is probably $12,000, followed by $10,000. Although it has worked out quite well to buy the dips over the longer term, the volume is picking up drastically to the downside, and therefore I think there is much more pain to go in this market.
