Bitcoin investors have been partying with the crypto’s recent rise, but is that about to be short lived?
Bitcoin pulled back on Tuesday after a nearly 20% rise over the past week.
The cryptocurrency was trading at around $45,000 at press time and is down 2% over the past 24 hours, compared with a nearly 1% loss in ether over the same period.
Analysts remain optimistic about bitcoin despite regulatory uncertainty in the U.S. regarding crypto tax rules.
