The Bitcoin Bulls reached up today and just grazed the $12K mark, putting on a show for the crowd while the bears watched from a distance.
The show is over for today though, and it appears the bears have come out to feed on what's left, timidly watching over their backs in fear.
Poetic imagery aside, Bitcoin has proven once again that it can effortlessly rebound after receiving such a pounding from the Bearwhales. I Still believe this $12K - $12.5K zone will show the biggest resistance yet, but we will have to see where the market goes during the next few days. Bitcoin has weeks worth of built up momentum behind it, and while the new money may not be entering the market just yet, the sign to watch for is when altcoins start to surge and take back the market dominance that Bitcoin is gobbling up right now. Once Bitcoin has had it's fill, we should see the capital overflow once again to the altcoins. When this happens is anyone's guess; it could be weeks or months away.

Bitcoin marches toward $12,000 in spite of new regulation chatter from the US
This was the most interesting news about Bitcoin at the top of Google search today. Everything else was copy-pasted from articles written 6 months ago, but with a few numbers moved around.
It appears though that governments are desperately trying to "educate" their populations about the dangers of cryptocurrency. To translate in my own words: blockchain technology is like a giant spot light, and those in important government positions prefer working in dark alleyways, where the plebs can't see what they are doing.
