17 Apr Bitcoin Price Surges 10% to Key Resistance Level as Bulls Target $7,400
Less than 24-hours ago Bitcoin (BTC) price dropped to a two week low at $6,468, inciting calls for a revisit to the sub-$6K zone but the digital asset deftly shook off the bears by reversing course to rally to $7,190.
At the time of writing the Bitcoin trades slightly above $7,100. As one would expect, altcoins followed the drop in Bitcoin price but as it recovered a number of top altcoins also bounced strongly. Ether (ETH) managed a 17.77% gain, while Binance Coin (BNB), and Chainlink (LINK) surged by 11.65% and 15.02% respectively.
