Bitcoin News Roundup For February 2020

Price Action

After the huge rise in January, Bitcoin price continued to rise in early Feb. It staggered across $US10 000 to a high of around $US10 345 on Feb 12th.

There was not enough momentum for crossing such a significant milestone.

The price hovered around the $10 000 before falling back down to $US8 676.67 at the end of the February.

If the price can consolidate around its current level, it could act as a base for making a convincing breakthrough of  $10 000 in the next few weeks.
