The past seven days turned out to be yet another period where bitcoin’s price went through a rather choppy action. The cryptocurrency is down about 3 percent in the last week, but it wasn’t without its ups and downs. Last Saturday, we saw BTC tanking to a low slightly above K, causing panic and a lot of worries amid the cryptocurrency community. However, right on the following day, on Sunday, the price surged, and a massive green candle took us all the way up to ,000. A few days later, on Tuesday, bitcoin reached as high as ,600, but it was then when bears intervened and took control. At the time of this writing, BTC is trading at around ,600 for a 3% decline on the weekly. What is also worth looking at, however, is the overall market condition. Volume is

The past seven days turned out to be yet another period where bitcoin’s price went through a rather choppy action. The cryptocurrency is down about 3 percent in the last week, but it wasn’t without its ups and downs.
Last Saturday, we saw BTC tanking to a low slightly above $30K, causing panic and a lot of worries amid the cryptocurrency community. However, right on the following day, on Sunday, the price surged, and a massive green candle took us all the way up to $35,000. A few days later, on Tuesday, bitcoin reached as high as $36,600, but it was then when bears intervened and took control.
At the time of this writing, BTC is trading at around $33,600 for a 3% decline on the weekly. What is also worth looking at, however, is the overall market condition. Volume is declining consistently over the past few weeks, and data from Bitcoinity confirms it. To sum it up – Bitcoin closed its worst quarter since 2018 with a total of 40% decline.
At the same time, retail interest in the field is also fading – per Google Trends. The global searches for “bitcoin” have decreased substantially and are on the downhill ever since their peak in mid-May.
This has obviously taken its toll on the market, in general, as altcoins aren’t having much more fun than BTC either. In fact, apart from Ethereum (up 6%), all other large-caps are in the red, including BNB (-8%), Dogecoin (-7%), Ripple (-3.4%), and so forth.
Nevertheless, good developments keep on coming, though the market doesn’t seem to care all that much. For instance, financial giant NCR teamed up with NYDIG to enable over 650 US banks to offer bitcoin services to their clients. Betterment, an investment up with more than 600K users, is also looking to offer cryptocurrency services.
In other words – good things are happening. They just fail to move the market. Will this be the case going forward? Only time will tell.
