Bitcoin’s failure to break through a critical resistance level has heightened the risk of a potential decline toward $81,500.
Bitcoin has declined by 15% a week after establishing its record high of around $108,365, according to data from Bitstamp. The cryptocurrency may fall further in the coming weeks due to a sharply recovering Tether market dominance.
