Crypto Market Rally Takes A Breather
By Laxmikant Khanvilkar
In the past 24 hours, prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other leading cryptocurrencies have decreased, taking a break after experiencing a huge surge that saw the global cryptocurrency market capitalization briefly reach $1 trillion. Investors have returned to markets that were full of optimism for the first time since late 2021.
However, the Thursday’s session will test investors nerve as slew of U.S. macro indicators including Building Permits, Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index, Initial jobless claims and Housing Starts, will be released. Further, the Federal Reserve officials Collins, Brainard and FOMC member Williams speeches later in the day are going to dictate the market movement. Currently, the Dow futures are slightly nervous after posting moderate losses on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the technical analysts have suggested that Bitcoin’s price has entered an uptrend. They added, the signal turned green, for the first time since December 2021 when BTC decreased from around $50,000 to $43,000. This was initially pointed out by well-known crypto analyst Lark Davis, who observed that the flagship cryptocurrency is now being transacted above its 200-day moving average.
The global crypto market capitalization has decreased by 2.45% to $964.35 billion in the past 24 hours. However, the total crypto market volume has increased by 27.78%, amounting to $61.52 billion. Out of this volume, DeFi accounts for 8.08%, with a total of $4.97 billion. The volume of all stable coins is 90.27%, amounting to $55.53 billion. Bitcoin’s dominance has risen by 0.17% to 41.44%.
Among several crypto projects, few have caught the attention of investors. They managed to report strong gains in the last 24 hours. Crypto projects such as Casper – the real-time, Proof-of-Stake blockchain platform, GALA & Calvaria – the play to earn gaming platform, Dash 2 Trade (D2T) – that offers a range of AI-powered tools and features – and FightOut, a unique approach of combining the concept of move-to-earn and validated achievement.
