Bitcoin news Bitcoin Bitcoin Price Bitcoin conundrum: Will it soar to $100,000 milestone or slump to $35,000 levels?

Bitcoin did not have a strong start to 2022 as it remained under pressure in the new year. However, the recent token moved sharply in the last 10 days, before losing steam once again.

Investors are bracing for more gyrations in the numero uno crypto asset, as global worries threaten to squelch risk appetite across markets. The volatility, traditionally associated with cryptocurrencies, has been on full display in recent weeks.
