Bitcoin on Wednesday, October 13 continued to remain on the loss-making side of the crypto chart for the third consecutive day. Having incurred a loss of 2.37 percent, the value of BTC has fallen to its current price point of $40,867 (roughly Rs. 34 lakh). The crypto asset saw a price drop of $964 (roughly Rs. 80,401) over the last day. Last week, Bitcoin was trading at $44,000 (roughly Rs. 36.6 lakh).

“Bitcoin trades at the $40,000 (roughly Rs. 33.3 lakh) level after experiencing liquidations ahead of the US interest rate decision scheduled for today. Despite being in the red, BTC has seen an eight percent month-to-date increase and an impressive 148 percent surge year-to-date. The recent low near $40,600 (roughly Rs. 33.8 lakh) has prompted a consolidation of losses. BTC faces resistance at $41,450 (roughly Rs. 34.5 lakh) and finds support at $39,500 (roughly Rs. 32.9 lakh),” Edul Patel,Co-Founder and CEO, Mudrex told Gadgets360 commenting on the market situation.
