Bitcoin back above $4,000

Bitcoin has surpassed $4,000 for the first time in two weeks, continuing to break away from a months-long rout.

The price of the world’s best-known cryptocurrency climbed almost 7 percent to $4,037 on Thursday, according to CoinDesk’s index tracker.

The last time the digital currency was trading at the $4,000 level was on Dec. 4. It began to plummet in mid-November after months of stability, restoring volatility in an asset known to jump or fall hundreds of dollars within hours.
