Bitcoin is roughly flat over the past 24 hours, settling near the $46,000 support level. Upside appears to be limited towards $50,000 resistance as momentum slows into the weekend.

The sell-off is stabilizing, leaving BTC down about 7% over the past week. Buyers will need to defend support above the $42,000 breakout level to resume the relief rally from July.
