BTC Reclaims $60K Mark
Bitcoin’s price took a hit about 9 days ago, dropping from over $58,000 to below $54,000 due to uncertainty surrounding the Mt. Gox BTC distribution and actions by the German government. However, the bulls initiated a recovery, pushing the price back up. Following positive US CPI data, Bitcoin tested $59,000 multiple times before briefly dropping to $56,500. The failed assassination attempt on US presidential candidate Donald Trump caused market volatility, but ultimately led to a rally that propelled Bitcoin past $60,000 again. Currently, Bitcoin’s market cap is nearing $1.2 trillion, with a dominance over altcoins exceeding 51%.
