Bitcoin sees no grounds for an upward push
Bitcoin (BTCUSDT) has so far been able to remain above $20,000. However, the cryptocurrency has no strong push towards growth. What's more, some on-network indicators show that this level will be tested again.
Here are 3 reasons to sell Bitcoin now:
● Some mining companies have announced a move away from the strategy of accumulating mined BTC. They don't exclude the daily sell-off of mined BTC, which would increase the cryptocurrency's supply.
● The crypto's price drop led to a fall in BTC mining difficulty, which fell by 2.35%. This could also lead to an increased supply of the cryptocurrency, which would negatively affect its value.

● Despite BTC's low price, institutional investors are rushing to buy it. We can see this in the indicator for open interest in Bitcoin futures. This phenomenon coincides with sentiments in traditional markets, which are seeing lower interest in risky assets.

● Technical analysis: Bitcoin is nearing the upper border of the range that it's primarily been in for the past 10 days. If the price doesn't manage to overcome this level, it could be advisable to open sell positions with a target at $20,000 and then $17,600.
