Crypto Price Today: Bitcoin Briefly Hits $70,000 Mark, Halving-Related Volatility Keeps Market Slow
“Bitcoin has shown 147 percent increase in the past one year. If Bitcoin continues to move up above the current threshold level, this might indicate a slight edge for bulls. The asset has been trading in a tight range for the past few days showing indecision. Bitcoin has still not acquired enough strength to make a sharp move,” Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex told Gadgets360.
Losses have struck several cryptocurrencies as of Monday. These include Tether, Solana, Ripple, Dogecoin, Cardano, Avalanche, and Shiba Inu.
Polkadot, Chainlink, Polygon, Litecoin, Near Protocol, and Uniswap also showed losses alongside BTC.
“BlackRock’s addition of Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, UBS, and Citadel Securities as authorised participants for the iShares Bitcoin Trust has stirred significant volatility in BTC price over the weekend,” Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures told Gadgets360. “Moreover, the US labour market continues to demonstrate resilience, with the government reporting the addition of 303,000 jobs last month. These figures indicate a robust economy, which typically results in higher inflation, increased interest rates, and a decline in risk assets including crypto.”
Despite the volatility, Ether managed to reel-in a profit of about a percent on Monday. At the time of writing, the value of ETH stands at $3,273 (roughly Rs. 2.72 lakh), showed Gadget360’s crypto price tracker. As per CoinMarketCap however, the value of ETH stands at $3,426 (roughly Rs. 2.85 lakh).
“In the last couple of days ETH showcased better performance compared to BTC, with the ETH/BTC pair showing a slight bounce. The key resistance level for ETH stands at $3,650 (roughly Rs. 3.03 lakh),” the CoinDCX research team told Gadgets360.
Bitcoin Cash, Tron, Monero, and Neo Coin also managed to see small gains alongside ETH.
The overall crypto market cap rose by 0.06 percent in the last 24 hours. The valuation of the sector currently stands at $2.59 trillion (roughly Rs. 2,15,68,846 crore), as per CoinMarketCap.
