Cryptocurrency Market Update: Bitcoin dumps in tandem with S&P 500

  • Bitcoin pumps to $7,500 and later dumps to $6,575 amid the Coronavirus restricted Easter celebrations.
  • Bitcoin futures on CME fall in tandem with Dow and S&P 500.

Bitcoin price pumped to levels above $7,500 last week, however, the rally was short-lived as quickly as it occurred. The largest cryptocurrency has dumped again under $7,000. The entire Asian session was marred with losses that have spread into the European session. The retreat slipped past other support levels including $6,800 and $6,600. A low has been reached at $6,575, allowing a rebound above $6,700. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is dancing at $6,730 after losing 2.55% of its value on the day.
