Bitcoins price ascend toward $60,000 was halted in its tracks and the asset has returned to just over $58,000 after a minor retracement in the past day.

Stacks has emerged as the top performer from the larger-cap alts, having soared by 14%. LDO is next, with a 7% daily increase.

BTC Stopped at $59K

It was less than a week ago, on July 5, when the primary cryptocurrency slumped hard to a multi-month low of just under $54,000. This came after enhanced pressure from Mt. Gox BTC distribution and the German government frequently selling off some of its confiscated stash.

The bulls intercepted the move at that point and started a recovery that drove bitcoin to just over $58,000 a few days later. Another retracement came before the asset jumped once again yesterday.

This resulted in tapping a multi-day peak of $59,500. While the bulls were preparing for a charge toward $60,000, the bears stepped up and didnt allow any further gains.
