After yesterday’s average of $13,400 per token, BTC/USD markets are now trying to forge past the $14,000 zone, but bulls have been hitting resistance.

Bitcoin.com News notes that many traders still do not know what will happen with bitcoin core markets and the rise of other digital currencies as the new year progresses. The crypto-currency markets have thus far amassed a $656Bn valuation.

From CoinDesk.com:

Bitcoin's dominance, or its share of the total market cap, has now dropped to an all-time-low. Data suggests the value of all bitcoins is currently accounting for 35.6 percent of the entire marketplace.
