Bitcoin’s Rollercoaster Ride Continues

As we dive into another week of crypto antics, Bitcoin finds itself veering dangerously close to a critical zone around $20,000.

With forecasts hovering around 8.8% year-on-year, you can bet the markets are on edge, ready to react to whatever uncle Sam dishes out.
