General weekly stats
The cryptocurrency market has faced a good deal of volatility during the last week.

A flash crash then followed, yet the cryptocurrency quickly regained its price. At this time, bitcoin is trading at values that are higher comparing to those in week 22.
According to experts, the recent volatility is being caused by economic uncertainty in the United States and the street protests.
