Bitcoin price traded above $10,000 July 15 after a weekend of heavy losses spelled disaster for cryptocurrencies across the board.
Data from Coin360 showed BTC/USD holding onto support above the key barrier Monday, having temporarily dropped as low as $9,912.
Driving the bearish sentiment, analysts broadly claimed, was a mixture of criticism by United States president Donald Trump and overall market fatigue.
Lee, a serial Bitcoin bull, had claimed last week that new all-time price highs were "Imminent," something which Trump's comments appeared to subject to delays.
A side-effect of Trump had been increased Google search activity around Bitcoin, something Lee says could in fact be counterproductive and not a helping hand for price growth.
"As for the search traffic for bitcoin being low, I also think that is a good sign. It means the rise in bitcoin has not been accompanied by massive hype," he added.
In the short term others were warning about impending moves lower.
"The price action has obviously been very bearish having lost the key low I've been watching at 10900. Also we are right up against the megaphone trend line. A close below 10580 would mark a new daily low and therefore I'm expecting new lows if/when that occurs," he told followers of his dedicated Telegram trading channel.
Bitcoin Cash lost an identical amount, while its hard fork, Bitcoin SV, fared even worse, losing 21.5% to hit $118.50.
Elsewhere, Tron, Neo and Monero all dropped by around 16%.Keep track of top crypto markets in real time here.
