  24-08-2019 23:00

• Crypto Tidbits: Bitcoin Hash Rate High, Square Crypto Bags Hire, Libra in Turmoil

  24-08-2019 23:00 via newsbtc.com
  Another week, another of Crypto Tidbits. Bitcoin saw a fairly tumultuous week.
  The cryptocurrency nearly hit $11,000 this week, before falling to $9,900 in a massive 8% sell-off that resulted in a Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index reading of 5 — “extreme fear”. Despite this crazy price action, Coin360 data suggests that BTC is ending the week right where it started, a sign of indecision in markets.
  This indecision was reflected in the underlying industry, with there being only a f

• Bitcoin Drops Below $10,000 as Support Wears Thin

  24-08-2019 21:30 via newsbtc.com
  Bitcoin (BTC) has once again found itself caught in the throes of a choppy trading range that provided little clarity as to whether or not it will begin venturing into the four-figure price region, or if it will begin climbing until it retests its year-to-date highs of $13,800.
  This choppiness has been largely centered around a battle between BTC bulls and bears that is currently ongoing, as the crypto continues to find some levels of support in the upper-$9,000 region.
