“Bitcoin, Ethereum and most cryptocurrencies have gained decent amounts in the past 24 hours. BTC and ETH are currently trading above US$41,000 and US$3,000 levels. BTC is moving ahead to reverse the current downward trend, as selling pressure is fading away slowly,” Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of Mudrex, said.

“BTC buyers could make a decisive move above the initial resistance at US$43,000 to maintain the upward momentum. Overall, trading was a bit light over the past day as traders seem to have digested the economic declines across the globe,” Patel said.
