WazirX analyst said, "The weekly trend for BTC continues to traverse within a descending triangle pattern, but has bounced off from the support level and is on an uptrend.. The next key resistance level for BTC is expected at $32,300."

Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder of Mudrex, said, "If bulls can make a move today above the current level, we might see BTC touching the $25,000 soon."

Second-largest virtual currency Ether was 0.5 percent down at $1,695.2 with market capitalisation of almost $206 billion. Trade volume of Ethereum was $14.3 billion in the last 24 hours.
