If the coronavirus closes it and the cost of its emissions falls, it is quite possible that it will trigger a chain reaction across the market. Is it possible that BTC will work like gold, or will it continue its bearish trend?

The city of Milan closed by coronavirus with the stock exchange

Italy will quarantine the entire region of Lombardy, located in the north of the country. It is here that the city of Milan, which forms the imaginary heart of the Italian stock market, is also not to be found. The quarantine will also affect Venice and several other tourist centers.
