On Friday, April 19, the cryptocurrency market saw predominantly losses, with Bitcoin trading at $61,815, indicating a slight decrease of 0.23 percent, according to the crypto price tracker.
However, on international exchanges like Binance, Bitcoin’s value stood at $62,160.14.
Throughout the week, Bitcoin has largely experienced fluctuations in value, with attention focused on its upcoming fourth halving event expected to occur between April 19 and April 21.
Despite recent losses, the overall sentiment towards Bitcoin remains bullish. Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, highlighted that although $34.03 million in Bitcoin long positions were liquidated in the past few hours, on-chain metrics indicate bullish behavior. Thakral noted that holders accumulated over $1.7 billion worth of BTC in the last few days. He also pointed out that Bitcoin’s current price level is serving as temporary support.
Investors and analysts are closely monitoring Bitcoin’s movements in anticipation of its halving event, which historically has had significant effects on its price and market dynamics.
