Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Polygon and Polkadot – European Wrap 18 October

Bitcoin price action at inflection point as rally encounters first real hurdle

Bitcoin (BTC) price action is enjoying October’s mild weather, like many households. The feared spike in gas consumption seems to have been delayed for a few weeks leading to some relief amongst both investors and the general population.
