In one of the most volatile days of the year, BTC price action fell below $43,000 as trading continued on September 7 after trading above $52,000 in the early hours of Tuesday

Ironically, U.S. Treasury yields, which are on the rise, prompted investors to trim their risky asset positions on Tuesday before a European Central Bank meeting this week.

Currently, the price of bitcoin trades at around $47,200, well below the minimum, as the price is still unstable.
