Bitcoin price bounces back up after approaching $43,000

Bitcoin saw a choppy end to the last week of February, with price falling from $58k to $45k in just a day and a half — which was a massive drop of 22% of its value.

Following the crash, the coin’s price saw a recovery as the last week of February started and the coin returned to an average price of $50,000 per unit.

Over the course of the week, however, BTC saw another drop, this time on Thursday. Right after the coin’s price surged to $52,162, according to CEX.IO, the price crashed to $47,789, This drop was not as great as the previous one, but still had a significant impact on the market.

The price saw a bit of a correction to $47,798 on Friday, only to drop to $47k once again over the weekend, albeit a bit more gradually. At the time of writing, the price is once again growing, potentially recovering from the late February drops.
