Bitcoin (BTC) tapped $31,000 for a third time this year on June 25 as the weekly close promised volatility.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price movements focusing on yearly highs.
BTC price remained strong over the weekend, as attention focused on geopolitical events in Russia and surrounding states.
With tensions lessening on the day, curiosity over markets’ reactions at the June 26 open remained, with the weekly candle close — already a classic source of volatility — coming first.
In recent analysis, popular trader Rekt Capital put the “most bullish scenario” for the weekly as a close above the pivotal $30,000 mark.
