    Bitcoin’s 2020 Bullish Run Continues Surpassing $8000: The Crypto Weekly Report

    Author: George Georgiev

    Last Updated Jan 10, 2020 @ 17:08

    Bitcoin’s price has been on a wild ride this week. So far, January definitely doesn’t disappoint in terms of volatility and excitement. Seven days ago, Bitcoin was trading at slightly above $7,300. As the week progressed, however, its price shot up to $8,400 only to pull back down to $7,700 from where it’s currently recovering.

    At the time of this writing, Bitcoin’s price stands above $8,000 but it’s interesting to see where it will go from here. On another note, this week was particularly intense in terms of political events as well. The US President Donald Trump ordered an airstrike against Baghdad’s Airport, which had the General of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force killed.

    This unfolded a very interesting correlation between Gold, Bitcoin, and Oil. The price of all those assets shot up amid the rising market uncertainty. This caused a lot of people to believe that Bitcoin is, indeed, starting to be perceived as a store of value.

    On a completely separate note, there has been quite a lot of development in terms of regulations. Qatar issued a blanket ban on both cryptocurrencies and assets which have value and could substitute fiat currencies. The President of the European Central Bank said that they are looking into launching their own central bank digital currency but don’t want to interfere with other digital assets.

    In the altcoin arena, things have been relatively turbulent as well. A lot of the altcoins experienced serious price swings. In general, however, they failed to break any serious grounds as Bitcoin’s dominance remains well over 68%.
