“If BTC manages to move above $48,750 with good volumes, and manages to find support, we might see it making a dash towards $50k by the end of the coming week. Bitcoin’s expected range for the coming week could be around $44,000- $50,000, as it would likely be a volatile week,” Edul Patel, CEO & Co-founder, Mudrex said.
The total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours is $89.85 billion, which makes a 7.11 per cent decrease.

A new entrant in the list of the names commenting on cryptocurrency is Raghuram Rajan, former RBI governor said, “Crypto currencies, which are yet to gain the status of legal tender in most parts of the world, have a “potential future” if they are well regulated.” After Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, the comment made by Raghuram Rajan is a positive news in the world of cryptocurrency that can drive up sentiments of people about the cryptocurrency.
“BTC bears have been able to successfully keep BTC below the $50,000 mark over the past week or so now. The heavy selling in the US dollar spot market pushed BTC upwards, towards $49,000, but investors seems to have remained cautious, preventing the asset from beating the psychological resistance level of 50k. The Jackson Hole event that took place last week didn’t have a significant impact on the market, however, some key macroeconomic developments this week are scheduled, namely the private sector employment data, and Non-farm payroll data, which might impact the sentiments of investors, and hence the market,” the ZebPay paydesk said.
