The piece of news from google was a couple days ago, there's no connection between that and todays 'dip'. The price was going sideways for too long, expectations for Bakkt were too high, and we're seeing a large decrease in price following weeks of stability. We might go back to ~$10k but it may 'dip' again.
I agree, this news has been going around for days and I doubt that this is the source of all this sudden dip of the price. It is attributed to some miners suddenly pulling the plug on their mining hardware. But it really doesn't make sense, could probably some black out on some miners regions, but for sure they will be back mining again when the electricity stabilised. Those whale who sold on Bitmex just reacted on the market, and dump huge amount. We don't know if this is deliberate to cause the market to panic or just simply wanted to liquidate his/her assets.
