Alost five billion dollars ($5B) moved in the Bitcoin market within a few minutes. The worth of BTC at midday GMT was approximately seven thousand six hundred and sixty-eight dollars ($7,668) today. Currently, it has surged to eight thousand dollars ($8,000) again.
BTC, essentially outdid the eight thousand dollars ($8,000) mark on a few exchanges. Presently, the BTC price on BitStamp is eight thousand and seven dollars ($8,007).
In comparison to last year, an up-trend has been observed in BTC prices. In reality, the price started off 2019, floating at three thousand seven hundred dollars ($3,700) mark.
It might trade sideways for the initial few months before leaping forward. 2019 has seen an increase in BTC prices so far. The gradual up-trend became more prominent in April. The BTC price is expected to surge in the next months, maybe to nine thousand dollars ($9,000) by the end of June.
Succeeding a remarkable year-to-day run of over one hundred and forty percent (140%), the market has released the pressure and fell back to eight thousand dollars ($8,000) range where it continued to trade sideways.
Currently, there is little to point to of causing the abrupt increase in buying pressure. In reality, a few dealers are confused due to the current price action.
