This morning, Bitcoin (BTC) rose almost 10% in less than an hour. After the Bitcoin price jump, investors began dumping money into the other digital assets, causing the market to widely shift green.

Bitcoin Price Movement

Last week, Bitcoin had its first major sell-off in months, but this morning it rose nearly $600 in less than an hour. Late last week, it looked as if Bitcoin was going to drop just below the $6,000 mark, but it’s now comfortably trading over $6,500.

According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $6,655.71 a coin, up 5.48%, in 24 hours. In seven days, BTC is up 0.264%, and for the month, the world’s first digital currency is up 1.7%.

Volatility

Late in the day last Wednesday, the crypto market began to tank. It was the first major Bitcoin price sell-off to occur in months.

There were many speculations as to why the drop occurred.

However, coincidentally, the Dow dropped to its lowest in months around the same time. Last Thursday and Friday, Wall Street hit its worst figures in eight months but rallied back to end the week in the green.

Is there a direct correlation between the stock market and the crypto market when it comes to investor confidence? Possibly.

Some were speculating before the market opened that the Bitcoin price surge indicated a potential “rally” on Wall Street. However, this morning the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P Index’s are all in the red to start out Monday—proving that theory wrong.
