Bitcoin is now less likely to fall below $10,000 than it was earlier this week, despite a move by Tesla boss Elon Musk to stop accepting the cryptocurrency as payment for the company's products.

Bitcoin’s chances of sinking below $10,000 by the end of 2021 were at 21% as of 10:30am BST on 13 May, according to an analysis of betting odds from online trader Unikrn by Financial News.
