Bitcoins price went toward $60,000 yesterday and even surpassed it briefly, but the bears took control once again and pushed the asset below that line.

The altcoins are untypically sluggish on a daily scale, with most, aside from ETH and BNB, in the red.

BTC Stopped at $60K

After the highly volatile and painful start of the previous business week, bitcoin started to recover some of the recently lost ground and jumped from under $49,500 (on Monday) to almost $63,000 by Friday. However, it failed to maintain its run and started to lose value gradually.

The weekend was a lot less eventful than the previous one, and BTC stood primarily at around $61,000. Once Monday arrived, though, the bears came out of the woods again and pushed the cryptocurrency south to just under $58,000.

Nevertheless, the massive crash from the previous Monday didnt transpire, and bitcoin started to recover some ground. In fact, it even surpassed $60,000 but was once again stopped there and pushed back down to its current position of around $59,000.
