Bitcoin was able to strengthen this week, thanks to the return of capital to stock markets. The day before, trading in the U.S. ended with a strong strengthening of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices.
On Thursday, January 12, bitcoin reached $18,370 on the Bitstamp exchange for the first time since December 14.
However, during the European session, buyer activity weakened and digital currencies entered the correction phase. BTC fell to $18,180.
