A dramatic reversal on Monday sees BTC/USD instantly fill the latest CME futures gap before bouncing off forecast levels below $28,000.
Bitcoin (BTC) lost $30,000 support on Jan. 4 as all-time highs gave way to a rapid retracement totalling thousands of dollars.
The pullback gathered pace after choppy trading behavior overnight on Sunday, with altcoins rising to take an ever larger slice of Bitcoin's market cap dominance.
At press time, amid heavy volatility, lows focused on $27,700 amid a bounce to nearer $30,000.
