Broad rally for bitcoin and its crypto rivals
August 15, 2018
Cryptocurrencies were broadly higher on Wednesday following a price slump that, on Tuesday, took the total market capitalisation of the sector below $200bn for the first time since November.

Bitcoin price seeking support above $6,000
Bitcoin led the rally and its price rose back above the key $6,000 level – a support level it has only fallen through three times in 2018. Nevertheless, bitcoin has fallen 26% in the last three weeks.
Ethereum has been among the worst performers during the recent slump, falling 41% since 27 June.
