Bitcoin price

After struggling to settle above USD 52,000, bitcoin price corrected lower below USD 51,500. It even broke the USD 51,000 level, but it remained well bid above USD 50,500. The next major support is near the USD 50,000 level, below which there is a risk of a larger downside correction in the near term.
On the upside, the USD 52,000 level is an immediate hurdle. The next key hurdle is near the USD 52,750 high. A clear break of USD 52,000 and a follow up move above USD 52,500 might call for a new all-time above USD 53,000.
