Bitcoin Taps $41K
It’s safe to say that the past week or so didn’t go all that well for the primary cryptocurrency. It took a few swings at $47,000 at the start of the month, but the inability to decisively reclaim that level meant trouble.
The bears gained control over the market and pushed BTC south. Thus, the asset firstly fell to $45,000 before it dumped to $43,000. The landscape worsened in the past few days as bitcoin slipped below $40,000 for the first time in about a month.
Yesterday was a rather calm trading day, with BTC changing hands around $40,000 for most of it. However, the bulls reminded of their presence and drove bitcoin north hours ago. As a result, bitcoin spiked to its current level – just over $41,000.
Nevertheless, being more than 5% down weekly means that BTC’s market cap is still well below $800 billion.
