The BTC rate is balancing around 36,422 USD by Friday.
Yesterday, the market was buying, but, as it seems, the growing momentum has vanished. There were reasons for this. Meanwhile, technical levels are still relevant: first, the quotes need to establish a foothold near 38,000 USD, and then make an impressive push towards 42,000 USD.

The cryptocurrency market capitalisation has risen to 1.40 trillion USD. BTC's share has expanded to 51.1%, while ETH's share has decreased to 17.1%.
