    After hitting a high of $14,047 bitcoin’s price plunges on Bitstamp 10 minutes later.

    The $14,000 range didn’t last long but bulls still have a lot of pressure pushing up the price. Above the $14K area is a lot of resistance with gigantic sell walls between the $15-16K territories. In the background, however, buy walls are much thinner showing that very large and quick dips like the one that took place earlier this evening could happen quite easily.  After dropping to the $13,500 region bulls have already pushed the price back above $13,900 only a few minutes later, proving anything can happen going forward.

    The fact that the price of bitcoin has moved over $2,000 in one day from under $12K to $14K has been astonishing, to say the least. But everyone involved with bitcoin knows the honey badger of money doesn’t care what any of us think and keeps on making its mark on the world.
