Bitcoin reached another milestone today, with the cryptocurrency testing the $400 per-coin mark. Bitcoin sold for over $1,100 inside of the last 52 weeks.The price correction was driven by news from China, as it often has been.

Fresh rumors of a government crackdown on the currency in the country, which could blunt demand and adoption, and therefore impair its value, sent the price of bitcoin down a quick 10 percent. It has since continued to slip.According to the Winkdex, the average price of bitcoin is currently around $395, down from a 52-week high of roughly $1,132. BTC/USD on BitStamp has fallen from $1,150 in december to a current trading price of $393.Indeed, with falling volume and falling prices, bitcoin’s vital signs are not as strong as they once were.Bitcoin Vox AnalystsBitcoin Vox Analysts do believe the PBOC new ruling has been known since 10 days already, but as there were previous "false" or "denied" rumors ; the situation was still uncertain.

From the moment commercial banks notify Exchanges that they must close their banking accounts, there is no more space for doubt.However, Bitcoin Price may have hit a lowest around $400, as the Exchanges Market may adapt very soon.
