Bitcoin had a quiet weekend with little to no actual movements, but Monday began on a high note as the asset jumped to and above $69,000 for the first time this month.

The altcoins are also slightly in the green. BNB stands out with a 5% increase now, but the asset went even higher earlier this morning.

Bitcoins Fight With $69K

Last Monday was also quite positive for the primary cryptocurrency as it pumped from under $69,000 to a weekly high of over $70,500. However, BTC failed to maintain its run and started losing value by the end of the day, especially on Tuesday. The retracement culminated with a price drop to $67,200.

More choppy waters followed, with the most substantial surge on Thursday to $69,500. However, bitcoin was stopped there and was later pushed south to a weekly low of $66,600.

After an immediate recovery that saw BTC jumped to $67,500, the asset calmed there during the weekend and failed to produce any big moves. However, this business week started on a familiar note and bitcoin jumped to just over $69,000.
