U.Today – The price of (BTC) has been experiencing a real roller coaster in recent days, with last week’s substantial drop of more than 15% leading to even more uncertain swings.
Thus, the major cryptocurrency has experienced a significant fall in recent days, dropping from $64,000 to just under $54,000 in five days. This was followed by attempts by buyers to recoup the decline.
However, despite recapturing the $59,000 mark, it has not been able to hold that price consistently. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $58,465, which nevertheless represents a 6.5% recovery since the beginning of the week.
