After the slow start to the previous week, when it dropped to $57,600, bitcoin experienced a true rollercoaster by the end of the five-day trading period that ended on Friday, especially during and after the Wednesday FOMC meeting, in which the US Fed announced a 0.5% reduction in the key interest rates.
#BTC recorded several substantial price moves before it headed north decisively. In just a few days, it peaked above $64,000 before it lost some ground during the weekend and remained around $63,000.
The bulls went at it again on Monday morning and drove the asset to its highest price level in over four weeks of $64,800. However, it failed to conquer that level and the subsequent rejection pushed it south to under $63,000 yesterday.
Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency has gained around a grand since then and is now close to $64,000. Its market cap has neared $1.260 trillion on CG but its dominance over the alts is just shy of 54%.
