In recent weeks, the pace of development in the cryptocurrency market has not slowed. Much of this activity is likely fueled by the anticipation of Trump’s inauguration and the transition of power in the U.S. to a pro-cryptocurrency government by the end of January next year.
Currently, however, we are experiencing the first deeper correction since the election results in early November. Bitcoin is seeing a correction of approximately 15% at the time of publication, dropping from the peaks of $108,000 to the current $94,000. The nearest support level is the aforementioned $94,000, followed by levels above $86,000. Reaching this level would represent a correction exceeding 20%.
