Bitcoin opened at $7700 on Monday, before rising to $7887 at 10 am GMT – a good sign considering the price was sitting at less than $6000, its lowest price since November 2017, at the same time on Tuesday.
As you’ll see from our Thursday update (above), this trend continued and Bitcoin is now very much on the up again.
Bitcoin Price Latest: Tuesday, February 6
Bitcoin is showing slight signs of recovery this morning, having dramatically crashed over the last 24 hours. As of 8 am GMT it had sunk to below $6000 – its lowest price since November 2017 – but subsequently fought back and climbed over $7000 at 4.30 pm GMT.
In total, over $550 billion worth of value has been wiped off the entire cryptocurrency market in 2018 as fears grow over stricter regulations of trading in a number of countries including the US, UK, South Korea and India.
