Bitcoin bulls regroup after last week’s selloff

Bitcoin prices were tilting lower on Tuesday, but the No. 1 digital currency was holding well above last week’s nadir as it attempts to claw out of a hole that saw it shed more than a third of its value.

A single bitcoin BTCUSD, -1.67%  was worth about $3,988, compared with its low of $2,951 on Friday, set after J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, +0.70%  CEO Jamie Dimon described the asset earlier in the week as “a fraud” and a bubble. “It’s worse than tulip bulbs and won’t end well,” he said at a banking conference a week ago, referring to the 17th century mania over tulip bulbs that eventually burst.

Dimon’s comments, along with a number of negative statements from other Wall Street investors had put bitcoin on its heels, but it has reclaimed a portion of last week’s ugly losses, which technically put it in bear-market territory, described as a decline of at least 20% from a recent peak at $5,000.

On Tuesday, Ray Dalio, the founder of the world’s largest hedge fund, said bitcoin has all the makings of a bubble based on the firm’s criteria for the market phenomenon.
