After the enhanced fluctuations in the past several days, bitcoin finally calmed around $42,000. The situation with the altcoin is quite similar, except for Chainlink. LINK surged by 13% and trades above $26.
Bitcoin Sits Still at $42K
It’s safe to say that the past few days didn’t go well for the primary cryptocurrency. On January 5th, it traded at $47,000 after failing to overcome $48,000 despite numerous attempts.
This is where the landscape changed rapidly for the worse. Bitcoin started to lose value vigorously and dropped by $4,000 in hours, as reported on Thursday. BTC stayed there for a while, but another initiative from the bears drove it to $41,000 yesterday.
This became its lowest price point since late September. After that, BTC fluctuated a bit more, leading to $500 million worth of liquidations on a 24-hour scale.
As of now, the asset has recovered some ground and stands around $42,000, and its market capitalization is just shy of $800 billion.
