Bitcoin price was in a major breakout, then this happens ( another hacking episode ). BTC had been trading been 215 & 226 ( USD ) range for 10 consecutive days with almost none of the recent volatility . BTC then hit a high yesterday of 267 on the breakout before news broke out. Seems to be one step forward , two steps back.
