Bitcoin looks for direction after four straight weekly losses

Bitcoin looks for direction after four straight weekly losses

Bitcoin fluctuated after posting its fourth consecutive weekly loss, with the cryptocurrency struggling to find clear direction as a weekend rally fizzled.

The largest digital token ended Sunday down 2.6% for the week, erasing a small bounce that briefly took it close to $71 000 on Saturday. Bitcoin edged 0.2% higher to $68 955 as of 9:45 a.m. in London on Monday. Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, was up slightly at $1 988.

Bitcoin has dropped more than 40% from its all-time peak near $127 000 in October, struggling to latch onto rallies in gold or equities. The broader crypto market has lost almost $2 trillion in value over the same period, according to data from CoinGecko. – moneyweb.co.za
