✅ Bitcoin Price Returned to $17,000
The week ended more than well for digital gold; the price tested above $17,000 on Monday, December 5. After a slight fall, it returned to the previous level, and since December 8, Bitcoin has been moving in a relatively narrow range. The first cryptocurrency is now trading at $17,010.
ETH is also stuck in a narrow range, so its intra-week rise of 1.07% can be considered nominal. At the time of writing, the asset costs $1,254.
However, Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only digital assets from the top 10 that ended the week with positive gains. There was a negative trend among the rest of the coins. DOGE (-3.8%) and ADA (-2.2%) were the outsiders.
