Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Crypto, Bitcoin & Tether – European Wrap 9 February
|Crypto Today: Bitcoin steadies around $70,000, Ethereum and XRP remain under pressure
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $70,000 any the time of writing on Monday, as prices in the broader cryptocurrency market consolidate in the wake of last week's turbulence.
Despite Bitcoin's price rising from last week's low of $60,000, retail interest remains low, suggesting caution among investors.
Bitcoin has encountered new resistance
The crypto market cap has declined by approximately 10% over the past seven days to $2.36 trillion. Ironically, this appears to be positive news, as it represents a 10% increase from Friday's lows. However, we remain very sceptical about the near future, as the recovery momentum lost steam over the weekend, encountering a sell-off near the $2.4T level. Perhaps we have only seen a bounce on the way down, which is not yet complete.
