This Weeks Market Action
This week was again filled with record breaking price action that brought a lot of attention to the ambitious crypto currency. It started on Sunday August 29 with an opening price of $158.42 (BCHA) and $0.00015708 (XEC). The price kept rising that day to hit a high of $202.00 (BCHA) $0.0002049 (XEC) and even higher on some exchanges where wallets were not open for deposits and withdrawals which prevented arbitrage leveling the price effectively. Halfway through Sunday the market cooled down and the price retraced to a level close to where it had started that day.
The next few days it saw little movement until the announcement by Bithumb on September 2nd which was followed by the price rising and the subsequent announcement by Binance early in the morning of September 3rd which resulted in an all time high breaking rally that had its peak the afternoon of Sunday September 4 reaching around $380 (BCHA) and $0.00038 (XEC). Markets started cooling down towards the end of this day as the week closed with BCHA at $335.96 and XEC at $0.00033265.
