Cryptocurrency Update: After starting off with a bash amid the festive season this week, Bitcoin prices have been falling for the past two days even as the festivities continue to go on. On Wednesday, December 29, Bitcoin price had fallen below the $48,000 mark. This was on the contrary from two days back when the prices of the world’s largest cryptocurrency had risen above the $50,000 levels after a constant fall marked by fears of the new Covid-19 variant — Omicron. Wednesday’s situation in the cryptocurrency market rose as investors booked profits in the newly discovered investment class.
