Bitcoin slips to $42,600 amid market pull-back

January 15, 2024

THE price of Bitcoin has dipped all the way to $42,600 after posting a two-year high of around $49,000 only four days ago.

Some analysts say it could signal a short-term correction as the rally of the last few months potentially runs out of steam. The $42,000-level was tested but the market leader found support to sustain this key level. 

Ethereum is also down and is trading for around $2,500 this morning, with next-gen cryptos following a similar pattern.
