Bitcoin fluctuated in a fairly narrow range of less than 5% with risk sentiment across global financial markets dwindling.
The largest cryptocurrency by market value was little changed after declining as much as 2.5% to $45,583 on Monday in New York. It has slumped about 30% since setting a record high in early November. Ethereum edged higher, while popular DeFi tokens such as Solana, Cardano, Polkadot and Polygon also swung between gains and losses.
