Bitcoin (BTC) Ending 2019 Under $40,000 Would Be an “Anomaly”: Why?

Over the past four days, Bitcoin (BTC) has been through it all. After rallying to surpass $13,000 for the second time this year, the cryptocurrency paused, took a breath, then decisively lost steam as bulls failed to maintain momentum.
As of the time of writing this, BTC sits at $11,300, down almost 13% in the past 24 hours. Altcoins are doing worse, with Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, and other large-cap crypto assets slipping by more than 15%.
