Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ripple & Ethereum Classic – European Wrap 2 June

Bitcoin Price prediction: BTC/USD holds above $10,000 ahead of another breakout

Bitcoin price shot above $10,000 for the first time since the first week of May. A day before halving, Bitcoin dumped massively to levels close to $8,000. Recovery had been lethargic in the last two weeks, with resistance first at $9,000 and later at $9,700. However, Monday’s breakout above $10,000 paved the way for a flash rally to $10,410 (June highs). In the last 12 hours, Bitcoin has retreated but defended the ground above $10,000.
