Bitcoin back above 46k as Ether lifts closer to 1800 again

There has been much in the news today surrounding the wider acceptance of Bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrencies in the wider economy. The news that apparently Amazon is assembling a crypto team is something that has clearly had an impact too. This coupled with headlines surrounding MasterCard and their crypto plans have all helped to fuel a rebound in the likes of Bitcoin and Ether, although it is not clear which is leading the other higher right now. Irrespective of that, both have risen further this morning and Ether is now rising closer to 1800 again having held above 1700 overnight, as was reported on here earlier. That move has helped to lift Bitcoin back above 46k in recent trade. Earlier Bitcoin managed to hold above 44k and that has helped the rebound too. The price has now lifted to as high as 46,144 a few moments ago and is currently trading at 46,085
