Bitcoin (BTC) displayed a significant pullback today, flipping its earlier gains and hardly maintaining a week-over-week increase. On Friday the cryptocurrency briefly teased an all-time high in the $71,918 range before retreating in U.S. trading, with its price standing at $68,507, down 4.74% in the past 24 hours.
