Bitcoin’s price has plummeted by more than five percent, according to the trade data. By the time the news was prepared, the price dropped to $45,542 per coin, at a minimum in the last 24 hours it dropped to $45,394.

Meanwhile, according to the results of last week, the most popular cryptocurrency managed to grow by seven percent and gain a foothold at the $48 thousand mark. Nikita Zuborev, a senior analyst at Bestchange.ru, assumed that the bitcoin rate in the coming days could remain at the level of 50 thousand dollars. Support, in his opinion, should be provided by a number of factors, including the digital assets trading launched by Interactive Brokers, the popular American broker, and the opening of access to cryptoassets to PayPal clients from the UK.
