The new Covid variant was first discovered in South Africa and has spread to multiple world countries. The new Covid variant is found in these countries, including Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Some countries like the United States and the United Kingdom have a restricted number of people travelling from a few African countries. Apart from this, England has also taken some essential steps to stop the spread of the new Covid variant. It has made it compulsory for every person to wear a mask at any public place or transport.

According to the head of Asia Pacific, the global environment affects the market to a large extent. Every receipt contains an asset that fluctuates more openly than any other stable asset experiences increase and decreases in its prices due to global uncertainties. Whenever there is something approaching that can pose a severe threat to the global economy, it leads to the downfall of the cryptocurrency and stock markets. On the contrary, we can also see that the uptrend is also solid when the prices bounce back. We can see the same thing with bitcoin approaching back to the $58,000 mark on Monday at Immediate-edge .
According to experts and analysts, when bitcoin starts to decrease $48,000-$50,000 from the total market capitalization daily, there are certain chances for a bearish market phase to approach. However, as the prices have increased recently, we are still in the bullish market phase. Also, bitcoin prices are further expected to increase rather than go down.
