Following yesterday’s enhanced volatility, bitcoin bounced off and reclaimed the $30,000 mark. Most altcoins are also in the green today. Cardano leads the way with the most impressive daily surge of 7%.
Bitcoin Tests $30K Again
Bitcoin spent most of the weekend trading around and beneath the $30,000 line before it initiated an impressive leg up on Monday. It took the asset to a multi-day high of just under $32,000.
While the bulls were preparing for another ride north, the bears intercepted the move and did what they had been doing for the past several weeks and pushed BTC south hard.
In a matter of minutes, the cryptocurrency plummeted by almost $3,000 to $29,250 (on Bitstamp). While this was a wild ride on its own, it didn’t stop there as BTC started reclaiming ground fast and found itself surging to $31,500 hours later.
It has retraced since then and currently stands at $30,500. Its market capitalization is up to $580 billion, and its dominance over the alts is at 46.6%.
