As a seasoned researcher who has navigated through numerous crypto market cycles, I must admit that this latest bull run is nothing short of exhilarating. Bitcoin‘s dance around the $96K mark is reminiscent of a wild rodeo ride, complete with sudden drops and unexpected surges.
It’s fascinating to witness altcoins like Ethereum and XRP outperforming BTC in some instances, a scenario that was unthinkable just a few years ago. The crypto market has truly come into its own, shedding its ‘Wild West’ image for a more mature, sophisticated player on the global financial stage.
However, as with any volatile market, it’s crucial to remain cautious and keep an eye on fundamental analysis. After all, we’re not just dealing with numbers here, but with the future of digital finance.
And speaking of caution, let me leave you with a little joke I heard in my last crypto meetup: Why do cryptocurrencies never get lost? Because they always follow the blockchain! A bit cheesy, I know, but it did make us all chuckle.
As an analyst, I experienced a tough beginning for Bitcoin this new year as its value plunged towards the $93,000 mark once more. However, it has shown remarkable resilience and currently hovers a couple of thousand dollars above that level.
Many alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) have seen significant increases in value during the last day, Ethereum (ETH) exceeding $3,400 mark, and Ripple (XRP) experiencing a 12% growth in its worth.
BTC Eyes $96K
After reaching an unprecedented peak of over $108,000 on December 17, Bitcoin experienced a complete correction, dropping by approximately $16,000 within only a few days up until December 20. In the following week or so, it recovered slightly and even attempted to breach the $100,000 mark on several instances, but failed to do so.
After being turned down again during the second try, it plummeted to nearly $91,300 on December 30, marking its lowest recorded price in more than a month.
As a crypto investor, I witnessed a significant push by the bulls that propelled Bitcoin toward a peak of $95,000, only to be halted there. Unfortunately, the price dipped below $92,000 soon after. Toward the end of the year, the market showed increased volatility, with a spike up to $96,000 and a subsequent drop to $93,000.
Over the last day, the leading digital asset has moved closer to $96,000 again, marking a more favorable trend. Its market value on CoinMarketCap now hovers around $1.9 trillion, while its supremacy over the alternative assets has slightly decreased to 53.8%. Most alternatives have experienced significant growth recently.
XRP, XLM on the Rise
Yesterday, many altcoins experienced significant drops, but today’s situation looks quite different. Ethereum dipped below $3,400 yesterday, only to regain that level following a 2.5% daily rise. Similarly, notable increases are seen in BNB, TRX, and TON. On the other hand, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano, Avalanche, Chainlink, and Shiba Inu have witnessed gains ranging from modest to impressive, with some even seeing a jump of up to 11%.
In a surprising turn of events, XRP has outshone other top 10 altcoins by soaring to $2.38, representing a 12% increase in value over the past day. Among the larger-cap alternatives, XLM has taken the lead with an impressive 22% growth and is currently trading above $0.42.
As a crypto analyst, I’m observing a significant surge in the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies. Overnight, we’ve seen an impressive addition of approximately $130 billion, pushing the current market cap to an astounding $3.53 trillion on CoinGecko.
