On Monday, the BTC is growing, though yesterday the market had its doubts about this being possible. Main movements concentrate around $31,181. $29,000 remains an important threshold. Any steps over it downwards will become a bearish signal for a decline to $28,000, from where there will be a lot of chances for falling to $20,000. At the same time, there is evidence of a wave of growth forming. If the crypto manages to secure above $31,500, the way to $32,300–$32,700.
However, it must be acknowledged that current growth looks fragile. There is, indeed, evidence of the correlation with the US stock indices breaking down, yet this also provokes questions. All in all, it would be wise to keep an eye on the market and avoid decisive actions.

The fact that daily goods can now be paid for in crypto can make digital money more attractive to users.
