This past week, bitcoin and altcoins trimmed most gains and struggled to continue higher. BTC/USD failed to clear the USD 12,000 resistance and later declined below USD 11,000. However, the USD 10,500 level acted as support and recently the price rebounded above USD 11,200. Besides, ethereum price started a strong rise in the past few hours (08:00 UTC) and rallied above the USD 290 and USD 300
