Bitcoin Calm at $63K
After retracing from last week’s all-time high at $67,000, bitcoin lost more than $7,000 in days and dumped below $60,000 several times. The last such drop came during the weekend when the cryptocurrency reached a weekly bottom of $59,400 (on Bitstamp).
The landscape quickly changed in the following hours, as CryptoPotato reported. Bitcoin bounced off, reclaimed $60,000 almost immediately, and kept climbing.
As a result, BTC peaked above $63,500 but failed to continue upwards. Instead, it lost over $1,500 and dipped to $62,000. As of now, it has recovered about a grand and stands around $63,000.
Its market capitalization has remained just shy of $1.2 trillion, while the dominance over the altcoins has declined slightly to 45%.
