Bitcoin failed to turn the $10,000 resistance level into support, which caused a $1,000 drop in the last few hours. But bullish price action isn’t out of the question just yet. Bitcoin’s price is going wild. The flagship cryptocurrency was able to rise by more than 10% yesterday and move past the $10,000 threshold.
