Bitcoin fails to break higher despite best weekly close in eight months

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin’s highest weekly closing price in eight months created a low-timeframe resistance level at the beginning of Monday’s U.S. trading session. The asset did not manage to move above that level during the session.

The previous week marked Bitcoin’s strongest weekly performance in eight months, culminating in that peak closing value. Following this close, price action on Monday encountered difficulty advancing past the level established by that recent high.
