Bitcoin has had an eventful 2022 so far and it is only two months into the year. While mostly recording downtrends in these past two months, there have been some notable recoveries that have put it above $40K. For the two previous times, the digital asset had been unable to hold above this level. Will the third time be the charm or is a reversal expected soon?<\/p>\n
On Monday, bitcoin had pulled one of its strongest reverse cards and had broken straight through $40,000. The digital asset did not stop there though, continuing the run until it had finally peaked at $44K. This marked the third time that the cryptocurrency had broken above this point for the year, but these three recoveries, while similar in their peak points, have been through different circumstances.<\/p>\n
