Bitcoin was up almost 8% to $15 032 as of 14:16 Hong Kong time, composite Bloomberg pricing showed. The digital currency has slumped about 23% from its record $19 511 reached on December 18, when the CME Group introduced its futures contract. While bitcoin’s debut on regulated derivatives exchanges in Chicago was thought to have given it a new mainstream channel for investors to tap, so far trading volume has been limited. "Short-term support is about $13 500 - we’ve hit that the last couple of trading sessions," Chris Gersch, director of strategy at Bell Curve Capital in Chicago, said on Bloomberg Television. "Ultimately I think it moves lower and tests last week’s lows around $12 400 in the futures contract," he said, referring to the CME’s version. The South Korean government has been among the loudest voices of concern about a possible speculative bubble in the largest cryptocurrency, which is still up about 1 500% for the year. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcmu5gTkCut5RU8ZDgSoLvZdTLCK53k9j2fCUQ2pFnnW6/image.png) **Eric Lam** https://www.fin24.com/Tech/Companies/bitcoin-rebounds-to-15-000-as-investors-find-a-bottom-for-now-20171229
