Bitcoin price levels off as spot ETF trading resumes

January 16, 2024

THE price of Bitcoin has stabilised overnight after what’s been a busy week - even by crypto standards!

The market leader is trading for around $42,700, flat over 24 hours.

Ethereum is following a similar pattern, trading for around $2,500, up by 0.5%. As is often the case, the younger generation of cryptos – Solana, Chainlink, Uniswap et al – are showing more pronounced price swings. 

Solana is up by 2.4% today as many other large-caps are trading in the negative.

Trading of Bitcoin ETFs in the US resumes today after yesterday’s federal holiday in the US. Investors will be watching closely.
