Weekend Bull Run: Not Just a Fad
The bullish momentum that began this week has spilled right into the weekend, and folks, it’s a party! With the majority of the top 100 tokens on CoinMarketCap flaunting double-digit gains, it feels a bit like New Year’s Eve minus the confetti cleanup. Bitcoin (BTC) has found itself in a brief consolidation phase, while the potential of third round stimulus checks is making wallets tingle and investors jive.
Bitcoin’s Roller Coaster: An Upside Down Perspective
Now, while some might worry about the recent large inflows of Bitcoin into South Korean exchanges (don’t panic just yet, BTC whales can afford a few splashes), most remain optimistic. The sentiment among miners is strong, and decreasing supply is like a cherry on top for Bitcoin’s future price excitement. Some experts even believe Bitcoin is snatching the gold’s crown as the go-to inflation hedge for millennials. Who doesn’t want to hedge their inflation while swiping right on cryptocurrency?
All-Time High, But What’s Next?
Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $41,940 on January 8, and now it’s taking a breather, hovering around $40,690, which means it’s cooling down like a newly cooked lasagna. With a recent daily rise of 1.53%, Bitcoin balances on a delicate tightrope. Chad Steinglass, head of trading at CrossTower, shares that the markets might be in for a wild ride. Prices could swing $1,000 intraday—so hold onto your hats, folks!
Altcoin Avalanche: Is the Season Here?
As history suggests, when Bitcoin sneezes, altcoins catch a cold… or maybe a hearty rise! During Bitcoin’s consolidation phase, traders often pivot their gaze toward altcoins like cats spotting a red dot. Expert Jean Baptiste Pavageau mentions a classic “wealth distribution pattern” is emerging, with investors cashing in on Bitcoin gains and moving towards other stunning options. Expect Bitcoin dominance to take a hit soon with an altcoin fiesta on the horizon!
All Eyes on Ether and Stablecoins
Looking for more big wins? Look no further than Ether (ETH), which has skyrocketed to new yearly highs at $1,267, increasing by 4.2%. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin SV (BSV) are also joining the rally, posting remarkable gains of 23.6% and 61%, respectively. Meanwhile, over in stablecoin land, MakerDAO shot up a whopping 45% just in one day, showing that you can have stability without sacrificing flair. With an overall cryptocurrency market cap sitting at a staggering $1.1 trillion and Bitcoin grabbing 69% of the market, it seems like the crypto world is ready for more fireworks!
