The world's number one cryptocurrency has been experiencing a few interesting price actions in the last few hours, and is now trading below the $8,600 price mark.
Bitcoin has made a new yearly high today, however brief it turned out to be.
Within a time frame of one hour, Bitcoin shot up past the important $9000 level, only to be rejected hard, reversing to current levels of around $8,554.
The surge past $9000 was accompanied by a huge spike in trading volume, to a level similar to that which was seen earlier in the week.
The last time BTC was trading at $9000 was at the start of May 2018.
