Bitcoin Price Gains for 8th Straight Session, Extending 2019’s Longest Streak Jun 27, 2019 at 02:29 | Sebastian Sinclair Bitcoin is back on the rise after recovering from a sharp sell-off yesterday evening, currently up $1,400. Bitcoin’s meteoric 2019 rally may have shown signs of cooling Wednesday, but that didn’t stop the cryptocurrency from ending the day in the green. In fact, the price of bitcoin ended yesterday’s session with its eighth consecutive day in the green, closing up by more than $1,200 on the day’s open of $11,375 and ending just below $13,000. The streak is a record for 2019, passing the six Green candles seen between June 12 to June 17 as the only other significant run of multi-day gains. Still, that’s not to say that streak isn’t in jeopardy heading into Thursday’s session. At 20:00 UTC on June 26, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, dropped by more than $2,000 in just under 30 minutes amid a service outage at major U.S. exchange provider Coinbase. However, with Coinbase’s fix implemented, bitcoin’s (BTC) price is also back up above $12,588 at press time, after dropping to a temporary low of $11,754. click on text for complete news
