The cryptocurrency recently began to flirt with that milestone price level over the past 30 minutes, bouncing above and below $50,000. Bitcoin has yet to firmly establish a grip over $50,000, though may do so as the cryptocurrency sets a series of higher lows and higher highs. Related…

The leading cryptocurrency breached that level last month, recording a fresh yearly high above $13,000. Since then, BTC has been correcting and is back trading near $10,000.

However, once this round of selling is over, we are confident that bitcoin will…

Bitcoin Price Pierces $8,500, Extending Bull Run Further

Fundstrat founder Tom Lee’s prediction that the bitcoin price would see “new highs in July” appears unlikely to materialize, but there’s no denying that the market has been showing signs of emerging from the seven-month bear market that drove cryptocurrency valuations down approximately 70 percent from their mid-December peaks.
