Bitcoin headed for its worst week in almost two months as a proposed capital-gains tax increase for wealthy Americans intensified the volatility whiplashing the world s largest cryptocurrency.
A fresh bout of selling on Friday drove bitcoin down as much as 7.9% to $47,525 below its 100-day moving average as it continued to take out key technical levels. Wall Street analysts warn of further losses for the notoriously volatile currency that hit a record high of $64,870 on April 14 ahead of Coinbase Global Inc. s listing, before succumbing to an unexplained weekend swoon.

New York: Bitcoin declined for the seventh time in eight days, extending losses after US President Joe Biden was said to propose almost doubling the capital gains tax for the wealthy.
The slide pushed Bitcoin down as much as 5.8 per cent to about $48,596 as it continued to lose momentum. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Tallbacken Capital Advisors LLC had recently warned there was potential for further downside after the largest cryptocurrency fell back from its record high of $64,870 on April 14 and took out key technical levels. Bitcoin has slipped below the 50-day moving average support that it held sacrosanct through this rally, said Pankaj Balani, CEO of Delta Exchange. It looks like there is more downside here.
