November Ending in Red As Bitcoin Is Down $1500: Crypto Weekly Market Update

Author: George Georgiev

Getting your audio player ready...

It has been an exciting week for Bitcoin. Volatility is back as the price went on a rollercoaster throughout the past seven days. The cryptocurrency started the week trading at around $7,150, dropped to a low of about $6,600 only to recover get up to $7,800. However, throughout the volatile month of November, Bitcoin lost upwards of $1,500 of its value.

At the same time, despite Bitcoin’s violent price action, its dominance index remained flat around 66%. This means that altcoins managed to stand their ground and didn’t lose their market share. Indeed, some of them noted substantial gains throughout the month. Perhaps the strongest performer is Tezos (XTZ) that’s up almost 50% since the beginning of November. In any case, the past week, despite the ups and downs, has been positive for the altcoin market as the majority of large-cap cryptocurrencies are marking steady gains.

Unfortunately, the week had its fair share of FUD and turmoil as well. UpBit, a popular South Korean cryptocurrency exchange, was hacked. This resulted in the loss of $50 million worth of Ethereum. Just today, IDAX, another exchange, this time from China, announced that it’s freezing withdrawals because their CEO has gone missing. This goes on to show that there’s still plenty of room for improvements and stability in the field.

However, there was some truly positive news as well. One of the more essential announcements came from Germany, as the country has passed a draft bill which, if approved, would allow banks to store Bitcoin and offer other cryptocurrency services to its clients. Bakkt’s steadily rising volumes also indicate that there is an increasing institutional interest flowing into the market, which is more than welcome.

In short, it has been a very eventful week in terms of both news and price action. As we approach the end of the year, it’s interesting to see where Bitcoin’s price will take us, stepping into 2020.
