Bitcoin Price Holds, But Damaged Crypto Markets Continue To Stagger

Investing, News | June 12, 2018 By:

The markets continued sorting through the rubble of last weekend’s dramatic price plunge today, with most of the top ten coins flat or slightly down.

Bitcoin was still at the $6,700 per single coin mark at mid-morning, about where it sat yesterday. Investors were hoping that’s the floor, but some pundits indicate that a break downward – even a steep decline – remains a strong possibility. Meanwhile, the market enters the summer down about 60 percent from last year’s highs, with little signs of life.
