On some exchanges it even touched it.

However, on the US based exchanges that I follow, prices got to $9,940 as the high.

This $10k level is likely a very important level.

Why does $10k matter?

First of all it is a major psychological level that people tend to pay attention to.

Secondly, it appears this is a major level that institutions are paying attention to as well.

Tom Lee of Fundstrat goes into some detail as to why that is here:

https://www.cnbc.com/video/2019/06/18/fomo-could-take-bitcoin-from-9000-to-20000-in-months-tom-lee.html

He says that institutions will see that new highs are much more likely now if bitcoin can crack $10k, and that would represent a double from current prices.

Anytime you can get a double in finance in a relatively short period of time, it gets people's attention.

Stay informed my friends.
