Bitcoin has been dragging digital currencies into among the fiercest falls since the start of the year





The embrace of the richest person in the world, billionaire Elon Musk, last week led to a sharp rise in the value of the cryptocurrency by 20% to more than 58 thousand dollars, but he returned to tweet on Saturday indicating that Bitcoin prices have become very high to lead to a strong decline today.

Bitcoin fell by more than 16% and returned to below $ 50,000 in New York, abandoning more than $ 8,000 of its balance within hours, before recovering some of those losses, bringing its price to about $ 51,600 until 6:40, down 9.44% In the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin led its sisters from the cryptocurrencies on a downward journey, as it accompanied them on the rise, as Ethereum fell by 12.17% to below $ 2000 at about $ 1,700, and Dogecoin fell by 6% to $ 0.051.

The market value of Bitcoin decreased to $ 952 billion, while the market value of the “Ethereum” currency fell to $ 191 billion.
In February alone, the price of Bitcoin rose by more than 60%, prompting the comment that the increase was excessive.

JPMorgan strategists warned of a decline in Bitcoin's liquidity, as strategic analyst Nikolaos Banegertzoglu wrote in a note on Friday that the liquidity of the digital currency was less than that of the S&P 500 and gold, which means "even small flows can have a significant impact on prices." According to Bloomberg,.

The chief analyst at Markets.com said: "New investors in Bitcoin should be prepared for big fluctuations, and a sudden drop in prices as sharply as they rose."
