Cryptocurrency prices rose on Thursday following a period of high volatility in the digital coin market. Over the last 24 hours, the massive selloff has calmed, and analysts predict the virtual market will pick up steam in the coming days.
Cryptocurrency Market
Bitcoin, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, was trading at $43,000, about 2% higher than it was at 3:20 p.m. 24 hours earlier. Earlier in the day, it was trading over 4% higher.
The market capitalization of the most popular cryptocurrency has exceeded $810 billion once more, but the 24-hour trading volume has dropped to $974.2 million.
Ether’s value has also increased in the last 24 hours, and it is now trading at $2,990, up 1.60% from its previous price. The market capitalization of Bitcoin has risen to $351 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume of $993.94 million.
Most other cryptocurrencies climbed as market momentum recovered following days of weakness, including XRP, Polkadot, Stellar, Dogecoin, Chainlink, Polygon, and Litecoin.
Expert Takes
“Bitcoin witnessed a great recovery from $41,000 support yesterday, pricing is headed towards $45,000, which is the next major resistance level to watch out for,” Hitesh Malviya, a cryptocurrency and investing specialist, said of the cryptocurrency market.
“Ether has also recovered from support and is now trading above $3,000 per unit. We’re still in an ambiguous pricing zone, so we’ll have to wait for further price action to develop before making any trades,” he added.
“The selloff in the cryptocurrency market appears to have finally come to an end,” Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of Mudrex, a worldwide algorithm-based crypto investing platform, stated. The overall market cap increased to about $1.96 trillion in the last 24 hours, and the total traded volume increased as well.”
