Mar 22, 2024 3:15 AM

The cryptocurrency market has failed to recover as swiftly as many expected it to, and Bitcoins price seems to be struggling to break above $66K definitively. Most of the altcoins are also trading in the red, with two notable exceptions.

Bitcoin Fails at $66K

As seen in the chart below, Bitcoins price was unable to retain its bullish momentum that took it all the way to $68K.

BTC has since retraced, declining by more than 2% on the day, trading where its currently at around $65,500.

The sentiment is currently mixed, with many believing that theres more pain to come. The other end of the spectrum is analysts who claim that this is nothing but a normal correction following months of up only action. Meanwhil, spot Bitcoin ETF flows continue to be negative for the fourth day in a row.
