The benchmark cryptocurrency was trading at $10,156.85 in post noon European trade, down by $3.35, or 0.03 percent, since the market open. Late yesterday, it touched a session high of $10,297.12 but failed to extend its profits<\/a> as investors explored opportunities in risk-on assets. More specifically, they waited for the European Central Bank to deliver an economic easing package, as its president Mario Draghi takes the stage to publicize his monetary policy decisions.<\/p>\n

Note: As of this time of writing, ECB has announced that it is cutting deposit rates from -0.4 to -0.5. It is also introducing a 20 billion economic easing package. Bitcoin is up by $50.<\/strong><\/p>\n
