Bitcoin Falls, Fails to Sustain Levels Above $100K — Market Talk

Bitcoin falls after failing to hold recent gains above the key $100,000 level. The cryptocurrency briefly returned above $100,000 in the past two sessions before slipping back below this level as it struggles for sustained upward momentum. Optimism for more crypto-friendly regulation under U.S. President-elect Donald Trump propelled bitcoin to record highs last year but it recently experienced a consolidation. Bitcoin is last down 0.8% at $95,802, according to LSEG. It reached a record high of $108,379 on December 17. ([email protected])
