Price of Bitcoin slapped back from $25k after meeting resistance

The price of Bitcoin peaked this morning at $25,288 as it tests the $25k level, but has since been kicked back to $24,700.

However, Bitcoin was still trading in the green by one per cent over 24 hours. Ethereum has also fallen off the pace a little, trading flat at $1,680. 

Many of the younger large-cap cryptocurrencies have also lost momentum. Solana is down (-4%), so is Cardano (-2.3%) and Chainlink (-4%). Uniswap is also in the red with a 2% fall. 

Will we see the divergence between Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies widen in the coming weeks as Bitcoin looks for support at $25,000?
