Analyst: Bitcoin fails to stay above 100,000 mark, highlighting that it remains a risky trade

Bitcoin broke through the $100,000 mark for the first time last week, before easing back from recent gains. XTB's Kathleen Brooks said in a report that Bitcoin's fall below the $100,000 mark highlights "the risks and unpredictability of cryptocurrencies". Bitcoin's recent sharp appreciation follows Trump's victory in the US Presidential Election, which boosted the industry in hopes of more crypto-friendly regulation from Trump.
