Bitcoin Reverses its Weekend Rally to Drop Below $40,000 Level

(Bloomberg) --

Bitcoin retreated Monday back below $40,000 after climbing over the weekend to the highest levels since May.

The largest cryptocurrency fell as much as 4.9% and was trading at $39,790 as of 11:25 a.m. in Hong Kong. Other virtual coins including second-ranked Ether also fell. Analysts suggested profit-taking lay behind the declines.
