In the last few days, the crypto market has been erratic, with the price of many altcoins, including Bitcoin (BTC), battling for survival after the news that Binance would not be taking over FTX after conducting due diligence. Previous weeks saw the price of Bitcoin (BTC) perform well, rallying from a low of $19,200 to a high of $21,600.
