BTC Faces Rejection at $70K
Last week, bears took control of the market, causing Bitcoin to plummet from over $67,000 to below $63,500. However, the bulls intervened and prevented further declines. Bitcoin reversed its course and surged to over $69,000 on Saturday in anticipation of the Bitcoin Conference and Donald Trump’s speech.
