Analyst Takes
Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe said on Sunday that while looking at weekly candles across the market it is apparent that we are "relatively bottoming" out for most Altcoins. On Bitcoin, he said that it is likely that the apex cryptocurrency will test the $70,000 level in the upcoming week.
Over the weekend, cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez said that Bitcoin had witnessed its biggest surge in dormant tokens changing hands over more than two years which signals a "potential increase in price volatility ahead."
