Bitcoin looking for support in effort to hold above $43,000

February 2, 2024

THE price of Bitcoin continues to look for a support line around $43,000 after dipping below this key level at the end of January.

The market leader by market cap is up by almost 2% on yesterday, reflecting the general positive sentiment creeping back into crypto markets as we head into the weekend. 

Most large-caps are in the green this morning, notably Chainlink which has returned 14% in the last 24 hours and 30% over seven days. Avalanche and Solana are also among the big movers of the day.

Looking to the global economy, Fed Chair Jerome Powell announced on Wednesday plans to keep interest rates unchanged in this cycle. He added that while rates will come down eventually, investors shouldn’t expect it any time soon.
