BTC’s price spike has brought the total value of BTC to $43.5K, but investors are still not feeling confident in this cryptocurrency market due to some heavy drops that have been witnessed earlier in 2018.

BTC/USD reached $43,468 on Wednesday, its highest level since January 6, according to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView.
