Bitcoin has been closely tracking the traditional markets in recent months, which is part of the reason why it has been caught within such a persistent trading range since the start of May.<\/p>\n
The equities market has been stable as of late, with its ongoing consolidation coming close on the heels of a historic rebound than can be accurately described as a \u201cV-shaped\u201d recovery.<\/p>\n
