While the cause behind the steep $1,200 price drop is not clear, the fall is coinciding with the recent controversy surrounding Silvergate Bank and the delayed filing of its annual 10-K financial report.
Several technical analysts on Twitter claimed to have predicted the fall from $23,000 resistance, however, the reasons causing the push down are not clear.
The last time BTC was priced at $22,250 was Feb. 15.
The sharp fall comes despite an increase start to 2023, with BTC still up 34.8% since it was priced at $16,550 on Jan. 1.
