Bitcoin continues to recover from the tumble it suffered during the weekend. As of now, the BTC price is up by 3% today, following the 14% devastating crash seen on Sunday.

Yesterday, Bitcoin slipped from the $60k price area as it dropped to reach as low as $51,440. There, it found support at the .618 Fib Retracement level and managed to rebound, trading between $54k – $55k during most of the day.

By the end of the day, Bitcoin managed to recover to $56,280, where it found support at a 50-days MA level. This was further bolstered by an ascending trend line that dates back to the beginning of March.

Today, Bitcoin has battled to remain above the 50-days MA but looks to be struggling to hold the support, even at the time of this writing.
