Bitcoin May Revisit $20K, Is It Time To Sell? 

Bitcoin was unable to hold $40,000 after making its ATH of just below $42,000. A large sell-off from miners caused Bitcoin to drop 18% to $30,410.

It has taken Bitcoin three years to revisit $20,000. Now $35,000 is a crucial level for Bitcoin to hold. If buyers manage to guard this support, Bitcoin may get a boost to $41,000 again. But failing…
