The US markets are witnessing record lows, and government stimulus is becoming a failure. Bitcoin is not an exception as it again went below $6,000.

Most of the countries lockdown the states in an attempt to fight against Coronavirus. The condition of Italy is deadly as deaths are approaching 5,000, and the new cases are submitting at hospitals at a faster speed.
