Bitcoin (BTC) fell against the yen on the 24th, failing to recover again at the closing price of 3 million yen, which is the milestone level of $ 23,000 against the dollar. The BTC market was seen recovering to 3 million yen in Tokyo time due to the high altcoin price, but after entering overseas time, the altcoin took a profit and turned to a modest trend, falling below 3 million yen. S&P Global’s January U.S. Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), which attracted attention, fell below 50 in all categories, services, and manufacturing, but improved slightly from December, supporting U.S. stocks, which were on the cheap side. The BTC market also rebounded slightly from 2.98 million yen. On the other hand, as US stocks hit a stalemate in response to the mixed financial results of US companies, the BTC market stalled at the milestone of 3 million yen. Selling, which is thought to be profit taking again this morning, weighed on the topside.
