At lunchtime (CEST) on Sunday, the bitcoin price rallied from $6,188 to $6,451 in just three minutes, according to the cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp.
This is an increase of $263, which is over four percent.
Exactly where the market is heading next is, as usual, hard to say. However, Erik Voorhees, founder and CEO of the American crypto exchange Shapeshift, recently said this about the development in the crypto market:
“I don’t expect it (bear market) to end soon, although I do think that the rate of collapse has slowed considerably. Generally in these bubbles, after you go through several months of a downtrend you hang out in a range for a while. But I think we are done with a majority of the collapse, Erik Voorhees said to CNBC Crypto Trader, according to CCN.
