"Bitcoin is trading at $30,283.58, currently, with a rebound of about 5% in the last 24 hours. Even though the market leader is trading higher than the previous week, this continues the record of ninth-straight weekly loss. Prices for Terra's new LUNA tokens crashed almost as soon as they launched. Additional price breakdowns will result in higher levels of volatility," says Gaurav Dahake, CEO and founder, Bitbns.
