The world’s flagship digital currency, Bitcoin, surpassed the $42,000 level on Friday evening, printing five consecutive green candles on the BTC/USDT chart on the Kraken exchange and rising almost eight percent.

That’s a 22-percent surge in the past week, according to CoinMarketCap. Last time the market saw Bitcoin at this level was May 18 and earlier than that – on February 8.

By now, Bitcoin has declined a little, dropping to $41,440 and losing 2.15 percent.
