Bitcoin extended losses from its recent record highs as the token tests a price level closely watched by analysts who use historical charts to predict future movements.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency has been trending downward since peaking around $42,000 earlier this month. The coin fell as much as 5.7% Tuesday, dropping below $31,000, and testing its 50-day moving average. A sustained dip below that level could spell trouble for the token.
