Bitcoin erases to weekly decline in return to $42,000

Bitcoin has extended gains to 5% today and touched $41,999.

The $2000 gain today is the first genuinely good day for bitcoin since the US ETFs were launched on January 11 and it touched $49,000. Since then the inflow numbers into bitcoin ETFs have been disappointing, particularly with large outflows from GBTC.

The daily chart is in an interesting spot and a close above $41,800 would paint something of a reversal.
