Bitcoin Price in AUD in 2018

In 2018, the price of Bitcoin experienced significant fluctuations, reflecting its volatile nature. The year began with Bitcoin trading at an all-time high, but as the year progressed, the value decreased substantially. Here’s a detailed look at Bitcoin’s price movement in Australian Dollars (AUD) throughout 2018.

At the start of 2018, Bitcoin was riding high from its record-breaking surge in late 2017. On January 1, 2018, Bitcoin's price in AUD was approximately AUD 14,500. This was a period when Bitcoin was still reeling from its peak value of around AUD 21,000 in December 2017.

January to March 2018: The beginning of the year saw Bitcoin’s price steadily decline. By mid-January, Bitcoin had fallen to around AUD 12,500. This decline continued, with the price hitting approximately AUD 9,000 by the end of March. The downward trend was attributed to regulatory concerns, market correction, and increased volatility.

April to June 2018: Bitcoin’s price showed some signs of recovery during these months, peaking around AUD 11,500 in mid-May. However, this recovery was short-lived as Bitcoin’s value began to slide again, ending June at about AUD 8,000. The market faced challenges including regulatory crackdowns and skepticism from institutional investors.

July to September 2018: This period was marked by relatively stable but low prices. Bitcoin hovered between AUD 7,500 and AUD 8,500. The stability was a result of market consolidation, as investors awaited clearer regulatory frameworks and technological advancements in the cryptocurrency space.

October to December 2018: The last quarter of 2018 saw another significant decline. Bitcoin’s price fell sharply, ending the year at around AUD 5,000. This drop was driven by a combination of market saturation, the collapse of several high-profile cryptocurrency projects, and broader market conditions affecting the global financial system.
