BITCOIN(BTC)
Today morning, Bitcoin is trading at $42,969, down 0.30%. We are still in the middle of the current horizontal band. $43,000 is a critical level. Breaks above this level could trigger a rise towards $44,500. If the decline continues, $42,000 can be considered as the first support zone. If there is a loss of $ 42,000, there may be a drop to $ 41,200.
