Bitcoin (BTC) finished a volatile week at $8,282 which is a 5% increase for the week but still 6% away from the highs of over $8,800. This morning, Bitcoin took another knock at opening, trading slightly lower alongside the rest of the cryptocurrency market and traditional markets.
XRP has thus far bucked the trend and is up 3% at the time of writing. With Bitcoin’s move out of the consolidation being hammered back last week, we will take a look at what may have been behind the rejection and what is likely to happen this week.
