Bitcoin price is finding soft support at $35,000 after dropping 7.4% in the later hours of Jan. 19.

According to Cointelegraph contributor Joseph Young, the correction was primarily the result of an overheated derivatives market and uncertainty over whether BTC can recapture the $40,000 level. Data from Cointelegraph Markets and TradingView shows that the price of Bitcoin

 fell as low as $33,400 before recovering to the $35,000 level. 

Not all is lost for the top cryptocurrency though, as news BlackRock, a multi-trillion-dollar asset manager, had submitted filings to the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission that mention the possibility of using Bitcoin derivatives and other assets as part of its investment scheme.

According to Decentrader analyst filbfilb, Bitcoin could be “trapped in consolidation between $30,000 and $38,000,” with a lot of buy orders currently “stacked between $30,000 and $33,000.”

According to filbfilb’s analysis:

“Demand in the low $30s was tested today and has since bounced with Coinbase leading the price on the drop. The market is fearful in the demand zone as shown by funding.”

The analyst went on to say that a further drop is not expected and a longer consolidation is more likely. Filbfilb also noted that new Tether
