BeInCrypto presents our daily morning roundup of crypto news and market changes that you might have missed while you were asleep.

Bitcoin update

Bitcoin (BTC) had a tough day yesterday. It slipped back to $55,900 after opening the day at $58,000.

It’s recovered slightly today and is currently trading for $56,888. At the moment, it appears to be moving closer to reentering the range highs (green box). It’s possible that this could just be retest of the range as resistance.

If BTC is unable to reclaim the level and close above the support line of the ascending channel, we could potentially see a move back to the $50,000-$52,000 range.
