After more than two weeks of trading below $40,000, bitcoin finally made a decisive move to reclaim that coveted level. The entire crypto market followed suit with massive daily price increases from Ethereum, Binance Coin, Cardano, Sollana, Polkadot, and many others.
Bitcoin Surged $4K
It was on January 20th and 21st when the primary cryptocurrency slumped below $40,000 for the first time in months. In the following few weeks, the asset failed to recover most of the losses and even dumped to its lowest price point since late July beneath $33,000.
However, it started to add some value and challenged $39,000 several days ago, as reported. It was rejected at first, and the bears pushed it below $37,000 almost immediately.
This is where the situation changed, though. While trading between $37,000 and $38,000 yesterday, bitcoin went on a tear and exploded above $40,000 for the first time in over two weeks.
It only kept climbing in the following hours, and BTC is now situated at around $41,500. This means that the cryptocurrency is up by $4,000 since yesterday. As a result, its market capitalization, which had dumped beneath $700 billion just days ago, is now close to $800 billion.
Alts With Massive Gains
As it typically happens when bitcoin goes through enhanced volatility, so do the altcoins. Ethereum struggled to remain above $2,000 just days ago. Now, though, the second-largest cryptocurrency trades above $3,000 after another 7% daily increase.
Binance Coin, Polkadot, Terra, Avalanche, MATIC, and Shiba Inu have also surged by double digits since yesterday. A bit more modest gains come from Cardano, Solana, Ripple, Dogecoin, and CRO.
As expected, the lower- and mid-cap alts have displayed even more significant fluctuations. Gala leads the way with a 30% surge, followed by LEO (25%), JUNO (20%), The Sandbox (18%), NEAR Protocol (16%), Mina Protocol (16%), THETA Network (15%), Loopring (14%), THORChain (14%), and many others.
Ultimately, the cumulative market cap of all crypto assets has increased by about $170 billion since yesterday’s low to above $1.9 trillion.
