Bitcoin SV’s market cap was $1.43 billion, at its highest point last week, and dropped by over $120 million to $1.31 billion by January 20. The coin has been on a consistent decline, much like the rest of the market, and has now dipped by 2.64 percent against the US dollar at press time.

In terms of exchange dominance, BitMart had the maximum BSV trade volume, with $6.74 million on the BSV/USDT trading pair or 11.36 percent of the total trade volume. Following closely behind was Bit-Z, with 10.12 percent or $5.76 million on the BCHSV/BTC trading pair.

Bitcoin SV has three prominent support levels in the one-day chart at $42.77, $68.46 and at its current price point $75.11. The coin’s resistance levels were pegged at $114.97 and $84.63 respectively.

Conclusion:

Bitcoin SV has been riding a downtrend since it split from Bitcoin Cash but with rising support levels since December. The coin enjoyed a brief upswing in early January but has failed to make the jumpstart count as the price looks to be nearing the support level once again, with the bears looking to pounce.
