• After being rejected at $28k earlier this week, BTC is trading 1.81% down at $27.1k, with a market worth of $528 billion. BTC has been comparatively less volatile during the overall market sell-off, outperforming altcoins.

• Last week's attempt to breach the $28k barrier triggered a wave of selling that sent the price back down to $27k. Prices were predicted to fall as investors shifted away from traditional equities and risk assets into gold and oil, which have gained up to 6% in the last week.
