The month of December in general proved the biggest month Bitcoin had ever seen. At the beginning of the month, Bitcoin traded at a $19000 price level but now when the month is in its last days, it is trading at the overwhelming price level of $24,000.
Specifically, when we look back to Dec 15 there was nothing too significant yet on the Bitcoin price chart. But the day of 16th Dec was the day on which Bitcoin started its steep growth, surpassed price level of $20,000 on the same day signaling that something is coming and from then on, something happened which is quite magnificent. The world witnessed the growth of roughly 25% in Bitcoin price in just a matter a week or so, taking it to the $24,000 price level.
