Bitcoin Price Recovers to $15,000

The bitcoin price climbed to $15,000 on Tuesday, continuing a Christmas recovery that began after shaking out weak hands just days prior. At the time of writing, the bitcoin price was trading just below that mark on Bitfinex, representing a single-day increase of approximately seven percent. Bitcoin now has a market cap of just over $250 billion.

This must frustrate bitcoin skeptics, many of whom rushed to publish bitcoin obituaries after the flagship cryptocurrency stumbled 30 percent leading into the holiday weekend. But, as CCN pointed out in its analysis of the incident, the bitcoin price has fallen by at least 30 percent six times in 2017 alone, and each of those hiccups has ultimately been followed by a significant breakout.

Ethereum Price Trades Sideways

The ethereum price fluctuated about $40 during intraday trading but ultimately ended the day on a sideways trajectory. At present, the ethereum price is trading at $734 on Bitfinex, about one percent higher than its previous day level. Ethereum now has a market cap of nearly $72 billion.
