Latest Bitcoin price and analysis (BTC to USD)

Bitcoin is desperately clinging on to the $7,800 level of support following a bearish daily and weekly candle close.

It now needs to break above $8,000 with a degree of conviction if it wants to have a chance of regaining price above $8,500.

The likely targets to the downside remain at $7,400, $6,750, and $5,900, all of which were levels of support during the 2018 bear market.

About Bitcoin

In August 2008, the domain name bitcoin.org was registered. On 31st October 2008, a paper was published called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. This was authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. To date, no one knows who this person, or people, are.

The paper outlined a method of using a P2P network for electronic transactions without “relying on trust”. On 3rd January 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence. Nakamoto mined block number “0” (or the “genesis block”), which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins.
