Bitcoin Price Struggles to Surpass $31K
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, appears to have given up on its attempts to break above the $31,000 level. The primary concern now is whether Bitcoin will manage to stay above $30,000.
Many consider $30,000 to be a critical level, making it important to observe whether Bitcoin can maintain its position above this level or not.
