It is currently trading slightly in the red at $15,483 on the Bitstamp exchange.

Bitcoin was able to advance higher after convincingly breaking above the pivotal  $14,000 resistance, surging to a 2020 high of $15,986 on Nov. 6.    

On Nov.  7, the bulls saw a sharp eight percent correction but they did manage to bounce back quickly the following day and capped off the turbulent week with a massive 12.69 percent green candle.   

Bitcoin is yet to surpass its weekly closes of $19,002 and $16,123 that were recorded in mid-December 2017 and early January 2018, respectively. Back then, the top coin was in the middle of a euphoric rally that was followed by a stunning collapse.

Ethereum, the largest altcoin by market capitalization, also logged its highest weekly close since July 2018. 

As reported by U.Today, the launch of Ethereum 2.0’s deposit contract on Nov. 4 spurred Ether’s first significant rally since the peak of the DeFi bonanza in early September. 

However, while Bitcoin is only down 21 percent from its lifetime high, Ethereum is down a staggering 68 percent.
