First Mover Americas: BTC Retreats From $60K

Bitcoin traded around $57,000 during the European morning, following a pullback from the $60,000 resistance level on Thursday, a decline of 2.4% in the last 24 hours. The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) fell 2.3%. Bitcoin climbed above $59,000 on Thursday after the U.S. reported its first drop in consumer prices in four years, a positive sign for the prospect of an interest-rate cut by the Fed. Bitcoin’s failure to maintain a sustained rally, despite positive macro news, suggests there is more price weakness ahead.
