Bitcoin continues with horizontal price movement

Bitcoin starts the week in familiar territory around the $29k level, where it’s been hovering for almost a month.

Ethereum is trading in a similar tight range, having moved less than a percentage point in the last 24 hours. 

Other large-cap cryptocurrencies are generally following the same trend, but the current low market volatility is ripe for disruption, say analysts, which could come from updates on the BTC ETF development, volatility in the alt-coin space, or regulatory matters in the US.

These periods of low volatility have historically been followed by a slurry of trading. Traders are now asking what exactly the catalyst will be, and when it will come.

We are in the midst of a remarkable shift in the mainstream narrative surrounding bitcoin, and specifically bitcoin mining. What was once lambasted as a “currency for criminals” and a wasteful process that was “boiling the oceans,” is increasingly being heralded as perhaps the… pic.twitter.com/qeer98yUCr

Even better, the whole thing is completely FREE!

So, if you’re a beginner, or know someone who is, take our fun five question multiple choice quiz and join the group today. Of course, if you’re an expert, you’re also welcome to join and help others who are looking to understand Bitcoin as an asset and the industry as a whole.
