Bitcoin (BTC/USD) failed to sustain recent gains early in the Asian session as the pair depreciated to the 49561.36 level after trading as high as the 50505 level during the European session, its first trades above the psychologically-important 50000 figure since mid-May.  Traders observe the interday high of 50505 represented a test of the 38.2% retracement of the appreciating range from 32200 to 61788.45.   Recent buying activity from the 48118.86 and 48287.98 areas propelled BTC/USD to multi-month highs, with the 48118 level related to upward pressure that emerged around the 3858 level last year.
