Bitcoin faces price pressure

Bitcoin's price dropped this week. It is now trading at about $112,300 after reaching a record in August.

BTC broke above the $107,000 level of support yesterday, September 13. BTC is expected to reach $122,647.80 based on the price retracement. BTC is currently priced at $115 338. This represents a price drop of -0.4% within the last 24 hours.
