BTC/USD has entered a range-bound phase after a volatile week. At the time of writing, BTC/USD is changing hands at $7,150, mostly unchanged both on a day-to-day basis and since the beginning of Saturday. Bitcoin's market dominance increased to 68.4% as many altcoins failed to recover to the levels that preceded the sell-off.
