Bitcoin on Thursday, October 19 lost its profit streak after three days. At the time of writing, the value of Bitcoin incurred a loss of 0.88 percent. This brought its trading value to $28,225 (roughly Rs. 23.5 lakh). Despite the minor loss, BTC has managed to maintain its price above the mark of $28,000 (roughly Rs. 23 lakh), keeping community members optimistic about the days to follow. In the last 24 hours, the value of BTC did dip notably by $208 (roughly Rs. 17,320).

Ether stepped into another day of trading in losses today. The price point of Ether dipped by 1.43 percent to trade at $1,547 (roughly Rs. 1.28 lakh). Over the last day, the value of ETH reduced by $19 (roughly Rs. 1,582).

“ETH has lost its recent gains and is once again hovering near the major support level of $1,530 (roughly Rs. 1.27 lakh) to $1,550 (roughly Rs. 1.29 lakh). As long as BTC holds above $28,000 (roughly Rs. 23 lakh), it's considered a positive sign for the overall market,” the CoinDCX research team told Gadgets360.
