Bitcoin has gradually coasted upward from the $3,552 weekly low, with a new $4,462 weekly high being achieved today. The general impression appears to be that government regulation, and by extension, the activities of regulatory agencies, only influence price movement and momentum in the short-term.
Preparations for the golden fork are currently underway, although there could be more to this event than meets the eye. Furthermore, SegWit usage has managed to rise up to 7%. However, despite the increased adoption, there were 19,000 unconfirmed bitcoin transactions still waiting on miners 24 hours prior, and the figure has now risen up again to 17,000 total, after only a short period of being below 3,000 unconfirmed transfers.
