Rundown Of BTC Price In June
BTC looked promising at the dawning of June, hitting a selling price of over $32,000, being its all-week high. Hours later, there was a sudden slump in prices, bringing its selling price to around $30,000. Despite several attempts to push beyond this price, Bitcoin could only remain slightly below it.
This went on for days until the end of the first week of June. However, before the end of the period, the price finally rose to the coveted $30,000. The occurrence created a green bar that broke past the longest bar of the nine successive weekly bearish candles.
