The top cryptocurrency by market capitalization reached a year high of about $12,500 on the 17th of August but has seen some significant decline in price recently. Its price fell to as low as $9,981 today, breaking below the $10K level. This has indeed caused some panic.

In the past seven days, BTC has seen a sharp 17% drop in price. As a result of this, several traders, especially the options analysts, traders, and investors, have shared their opinions on the current situation.
