As a seasoned crypto investor with a few years under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of market volatility. Today, however, brings a breath of fresh air as the total cryptocurrency capitalization has surged above $2.2 trillion, and many coins are showing substantial recoveries from yesterday’s lows.


Today has brought about a optimistic shift in the cryptocurrency market. The overall value of all digital coins surpassed $2.2 trillion, fueled by several coins bouncing back strongly from their previous day’s slumps at lower prices.

The price of Bitcoin appears tranquil at the moment, but it’s crucial to keep in mind that uncertainty surrounds the market sentiment.

After an intense day of crypto market fluctuations, I’ve noticed that Bitcoin has settled around $57,000 for now.

Observe the graph above. The price experienced dramatic fluctuations over the past 24 hours, reaching peaks above $57,000 only to plummet beneath $55,000, before eventually rebounding and settling back near that price range.

The unpredictability of markets led to a significant number of closed positions in the derivatives sector, resulting in approximately $240 million in losses. Short sellers accounted for around $130 million of those losses.

Despite this, it’s essential to be cautious about the present balance as the prevailing emotion in the market is apprehension, based on the widely used Fear and Greed index.

The entire market cap of large-cap altcoins is currently showing gains – a development not witnessed for some time. While some have outperformed others, all have experienced positive price movements over the last 24 hours.

Ethereum managed to reclaim the $3K level after gaining almost 5%, while BNB reclaimed $500.
