Since the beginning of April 2019, the crypto spring seems to have erupted. Since the breakthrough of the BTC price to over $5,000 an ounce, the leading cryptocurrency has held above this important mark. Although we are currently seeing a sideways movement, April has apparently brought the end of the crypto winter. A new bull cycle could take hold in the second half of 2019.
Bitcoin (BTC)
At the time of writing, the Bitcoin (BTC) price is well above $5,400 and developed flat over the last 24 hours. More than $190M worth of BTC were exchanged in the BTC/USD market representing a 9.47% share of the global daily trading volume.
