Bitcoin price rose modestly, mirroring the performance of the American stock market, which soared by over 2%. The BTC/USD pair rose to 68,000 from this week's low of 66,000. It remains in a bear market after falling by 46% from its highest point in October last year.
As of this writing the USD/ZAR remains within the upper realms of its value, this as the currency pair continues to suffer from nervous sentiment via USD centric strength as the Iranian war flares.
