Bitcoin (BTC/USD) sought to add to its recent recovery early in the Asian session as the pair appreciated to the 51250 level after trading as low as the 48650.02 level during the North American session, with the intraday high representing a test of the 78.6% retracement of the depreciating range from 51995 to 48650.02. The pair continues to orbit the 50725.92 area, representing the 50% retracement of the depreciating range from 59118.84 to 42333.
