Bitcoin started off the week on the backfoot after a recovery over the weekend proved fleeting.

The largest cryptocurrency dropped as much as 6.3% Monday and was trading at $33,656 as of 3:15 p.m. in London. Strategists have cautioned that a break below the key $30,000 level could spell trouble, while a move toward or above $40,000 is seen as heralding further gains.
