On Thursday, June 6, 2024, Bitcoin saw a brief surge in value, surpassing the $71,000 milestone, much to the excitement of investors. However, this upward trend was short-lived, as the price of the primary cryptocurrency dipped back down to around $70,800. This occurred amidst substantial investments flowing into Bitcoin ETFs, making it a noteworthy week for market optimists.

Monday brought a sense of positivity, with Bitcoin leaping past $70,000 before experiencing a minor decline to $68,700. Undeterred, investors launched a fresh attack on Wednesday, propelling the price to a 15-day peak of $71,800, coming within 3% of its all-time high from mid-March.
At the time of writing, the price of BTC stood at $71,392.54, marking a 0.5% increase in the past 24 hours.
In contrast to Bitcoin’s volatility, meme coins saw a decline after significant gains the prior day.

Among meme coins, WIF, FLOKI, and BONK recorded losses of 6%, 5%, and 4.5%, respectively.
