As a seasoned crypto investor with over a decade of experience navigating the digital asset landscape, I’ve seen my fair share of market volatility and price fluctuations. This latest surge in Bitcoin to above $68K is a testament to the resilience of the cryptocurrency market, despite the occasional FUD around Tether or other external factors. It’s always a thrilling ride when we see new all-time highs being reached, as it opens up opportunities for potential profits and further growth.


Bitcoin‘s price has been steadily rising following the weekend dip, surpassing $68,000 and coming close to $68,500 earlier today.

Today, some alternative coins (altcoins) are showing a slight increase in value. Binance Coin (BNB) has risen to over $590, while Ethereum (ETH) has climbed above the $2,500 mark.

BTC Above $68K

During the past week, the main digital currency experienced increased volatility, with significant investments flowing into Bitcoin ETFs. It rose from around $69,500 on Monday to approximately $65,000 by Wednesday, then rallied again to nearly $69,000 on Thursday. However, bears reappeared on Friday evening and triggered another drop in its value.

As an analyst, I observed a significant dip in Bitcoin’s value overnight, which can be attributed to fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) surrounding Tether. The price plummeted to roughly $65,500. Yet, the bullish sentiment quickly resurfaced, propelling Bitcoin back up to around $67,000 over the weekend.

On Monday morning, the value of this asset saw a surge in popularity. It reached over $68,000 and peaked at $68,500, marking a high for several days. Despite losing some value since then, it currently remains above $68,000.

The market value of this asset now exceeds $1.350 trillion, and it maintains a commanding position at approximately 55.8% in terms of its influence over alternative cryptocurrencies, according to CoinGecko.

DOGE, DOT on the Rise

Last night, Elon Musk, famous for his strong backing of the world’s most popular and longstanding meme currency, shared a DOGE-themed joke on platform X. This action led to results similar to past occurrences, as Dogecoin‘s value surged by approximately 3-4% in mere minutes. Currently, it is trading above $0.14.

As a crypto investor, I’m excited to see Polkadot making waves among the larger-cap altcoins today. The DOT token has surged by approximately 4%, putting it at around $4.20. Meanwhile, Ethereum is hovering above $2,500 after a modest 1.5% increase. Binance Coin (BNB) is also performing well, with a 1.4% daily rise pushing its price above $590. Other notable gainers in the market include Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), Telegram Open Network (TON), Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Chainlink (LINK). All of these coins are currently showing positive growth.

Contrarily, tokens like TRX, LEO, and SUI have experienced a decline in their value. For SUI, this daily dip has been particularly steep at -4%.

The total crypto market cap has bounced above $2.4 trillion and is up to $2.420 trillion now.
