Itâs a green week as the cryptocurrency market recovers from the slump that it had entered before that. The total capitalization stands tall above $2.7 trillion, as trading volume remains stable at around $100 billion on a daily basis.
Bitcoinâs price seems to have solidified itself above $70K, at least for the time being. The week was rather tumultuous as volatility increased on the announcement of the recent consumer price index (CPI) data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Currently trading at a 6% increase, BTC has experienced quite a rollercoaster in the past seven days. All was going well until April 8th, when the leading crypto soared past $72K, causing many to believe that a new all-time high was on the horizon. But thatâs when the bears stepped in and pushed it all the way back below $68K during the following days.
It appears that buyers were waiting for that to happen as they scooped in discounted BTC and catapulted its price back toward $71K, where itâs more or less trading at the time of this writing.
That said, the rest of the market is also painted in green, with some altcoins doing better than others. From the top 10, ETH is up by around 8%, trading at $3.5K. XRP is also in the green, reclaiming the important $0.6 mark and trading at a 5.5% increase. Recall that the trial between the US SEC and Ripple Labs is set to start later this month.
Speaking of trials, the Securities and Exchange Commission is having a field day with crypto. It filed a notice to sue Uniswap Labs â the developers of Uniswap â the largest decentralized crypto exchange. The firm was quick to respond, saying they are ready to fight and that they believe its actions and protocol are in complete compliance with existing regulations.
All in all, thereâs one week until the Bitcoin halving, and the excitement in the industry seems palpable. Many analysts and traders are already placing their bets and giving predictions â both bullish and bearish.
If one thing is for sure, though, itâs that the upcoming days will definitely be exciting, so stay tuned!
