By By Ken Hanly Mar 20, 2019 in Technology Bitcoin opened 24 hours at just above $4,000 and it seems to have now established itself within the low $4,000 region rather than dropping back below as it had done previously, As Petersen published his article BTC was trading at $4,070 up a bit from its low so far today of $4,030.
