Bitcoin Rally As Altcoins Turn Green, Pushes Market Above $1 Trillion Threshold

Date:

After strong gains of Bitcoin and other large-cap altcoins in the last week, the market capitalization for cryptocurrency has surpassed $1 trillion.

The $1 Trillion market is being reopened

The market value of cryptocurrency cryptocurrencies rose to $1 trillion for the first time in over a year after a notable gain Monday in bitcoin and ether.

Bitcoin’s largest cryptocurrency reached record prices after a mid-June selloff. It had fallen from $30,000 to $18,000 and risen 5% over the past 24 hours to $22,300.

That same level was used as a resistance area during bitcoin’s bull market rally in the latter part of 2017. In technical analysis, this is often referred to as old resistance.

For cryptocurrency investors, Monday’s profits should come as a relief after the preceding nine months have seen them endure a terrible bear market. The prolonged bear market for cryptocurrency has caused a $2 trillion loss in market value and several companies including Celsius, Voyager Digital and Three Arrows Capital have been declared bankrupt.

Analysts had predicted that Federal Reserve would hike interest rates by at most 75 basis points during the Federal Open Market Committee meeting of July 27, but traditional markets are slightly lower on the day that cryptocurrency are generally in black.

The July 18th price rise may be welcomed by traders, but analysts say it’s merely a bear-market pump.

Bitcoin is poised for a rebound

TradingView data indicates that Bitcoin’s gains have been substantial over the past week. BTC was up 16 percent since its low point of $18,907.

The highest-value cryptocurrency is now threatening resistance at the 200 week moving average. That’s also the peak of the trading range BTC has been trapped in since the beginning of June.

Over the last five weeks, multiple attempts at breaking above this level were repeatedly rejected. This proves that it is a hard nut to crack. Bitcoin is not yet clear if it can overcome this obstacle and climb higher, or whether it will remain at $19,000-$22,000.

The major distinction between the present bear market and previous cycles, according to Glassnode’s most recent newsletter, is “duration” and many on-chain measures are now comparable to these historical drawdowns.

The real price is the sum of the total value of Bitcoin and the amount of BTC currently in circulation. It has been shown to be an indicator of bottoms in bear markets.

Except for the March 2020 flash crash, Bitcoin traded consistently below its realized value throughout bear markets, with the exception of that chart.

Glassnode explained:

“The average time spent below the Realized Price is 197-days, compared to the current market with just 35-days on the clock.”
