MARKETS
It was just a few days ago that the primary cryptocurrency was fighting for $ 48,000 after unsuccessful attempts to beat $ 50,000. At that moment, the situation changed when the bulls launched an impressive rise, which resulted in a final break of this level.
In the following hours, BTC continued to rise, approaching $ 52,000, its highest price limit in more than two weeks. However, yesterday the BTC fell by several thousand dollars and again found itself below 50,000 USD.
Nevertheless, the asset has regained that limit in the past 24 hours, reaching $ 51,000 today. To date, BTC is above the $ 50,500 mark.
Most altcoins have been mimicking BTC performance lately, and the last 24 hours have been quite similar. ETH fell to $ 4,000 yesterday, but a small daily increase confirmed its position above that particular level.
BTC analysis – where is the next target if the price exceeds $ 52,000?
