Bitcoin price LIVE – Crypto crashes AGAIN as price and stock predictions revealed while ATM and wallet interest ramps up #nigeria | #nigeriascams | #lovescams


BITCOIN dropped again Thursday morning in early trading, as internet searches for crypto ATMs and wallets ramp up.

Amid fears of falling into the death cross indicator following a dip of 37.28 percent, Bitcoin was able to rebound to $42,000, before reaching slightly higher levels.

Currently sitting at $42,739.40 per (BTC / USD), Bitcoin saw a sharp decrease in value within 24 hours as it had dipped below $40,000 per (BTC / USD).

This, as Forbes’s contributor Philipp Sandner predicts Bitcoin could reach $100,000 in 2022, and the crypto asset market will be expanding.

However, experts have weighed in with warnings about the volatility of Bitcoin.

Commenting on this, Shivan Thanral, CEO of BuyUCoin stated: “Bitcoin needs a bit more recovery as RSI is still below 50, indicating that it is in the oversold zone. If bulls try to make an upside move, then the price may soar to around $45,000 level although, in case of any misstep, prices can fall to $38,000-$36,000 zone.”

    “Investors need to keep in mind that the token itself is tied directly to the success of the Crypto.com ecosystem.

    “That being said, Crypto.com has taken the initiative to decentralize CRO by building it into their own decentralized blockchain called Crypto.org.
