Bitcoin prices continued to fall back to Earth last week. The price dropped 16% with buying interest thinner and wider than previous weeks. This may have been a result of an influx of supply hitting the market due to the recent USMS auction. Buyers may continue to sit on the sidelines this week as they search for a viable re-entry point amidst the recent price drop.
