Bitcoin struggles as sellers return following brief rally
Despite a collection of positive news stories overnight, the original digital currency was failing to make much headway on Tuesday afternoon
Bitcoin prices were struggling to make headway early on Tuesday afternoon following a brief spurt overnight as sellers returned to the digital currency.
At the time of writing, the digital coin is down 2.2% in the last 24 hours at US$36,881, giving it a market cap of around US$690bn.
The stalled recovery came despite a number of positive news stories overnight that saw Bitcoin reach its highest value since last Friday in the early hours of Tuesday morning before dropping back as the day progressed.
