Bitcoin Reclaims $44K: Shiba Inu Spikes 5% (Market Watch)

by CryptoPotato

Following yesterday’s brief retracement, bitcoin went on the offensive once more and touched $44,000. Most alternative coins are slightly in the green today as well, with ETH touching $3,200 and SHIB spiking by 5%.

BTC at $44K Again

It has been roughly a week since the largest cryptocurrency began its ascent. The asset struggled at $37,500 on February 4th, but the bulls stepped up and started to push it north.

Firstly, bitcoin broke above $40,000 before adding another grand in the following hours. After stalling there for a bit, BTC began adding more value once again. This time, it tapped a multi-week high of around $44,000 before surging to $45,500 for the first time since early January.

After several days of continuous gains, it was expected to some extent that there will be a slight retracement. It transpired yesterday when BTC dropped by a few thousand dollars to $42,500.

However, bitcoin reacted well to this price slide and has added more than $1,500 since then. As a result, it now stands above $44,000, and its market capitalization has neared $850 billion.

SHIB and Other Alts in Green

The alternative coins mimicked BTC’s performance to a large extent lately. As such, most corrected yesterday but have turned green today.

Ethereum slid below $3,100, but a 3.5% increase since then has driven the second-largest cryptocurrency to $3,200 now. Binance Coin, Ripple, Terra, and MATIC have marked similar gains, while Cardano, Solana, Polkadot, Avalanche, and Dogecoin have portrayed more modest increases.

Shiba Inu and CryptoCom’s native token are the most significant gainers as of now. Both are up by approximately 5%, with SHIB standing at $0.000033 and CRO trading above $0.5.

More price increases come from Secret (13%), Flow (13%), Kadena (10%), Harmony (9%), Arweave (8%), and NEO (8%).

The cryptocurrency market capitalization is up by around $40 billion since yesterday and is back above $2 trillion.

Market Watch: Bitcoin Retraced After Topping at $45K, Tezos Soars 12%

by CryptoPotato

After several consecutive days of marking impressive gains, bitcoin retraced slightly and lost around $2,000 since its local peak. The altcoins have calmed on a daily scale, except for a few lower- and mid-cap ones that surged, such as Tezos (XTZ).

Bitcoin’s Peak and Subsequent Retracement

Ever since February 4th, when the price of the largest cryptocurrency struggled below $38,000, the overall landscape has been highly bullish. Bitcoin initiated an impressive leg up in which it reclaimed $40,000 for the first time in weeks and only kept climbing.

This resulted in touching $43,000 and $44,000 on February 7th before the bulls pushed BTC north, as reported yesterday. This culminated in touching $45,500, which became the highest price tag seen by bitcoin in over a month.

After gaining $8,000 in days, though, the community expected some kind of a retracement, and it arrived shortly after this peak. It drove the cryptocurrency down by about $3,000 to $42,500, but the asset reacted rather well and recovered $1,000 in the following hours.

As such, its market capitalization continues to stand well above $800 billion, and its dominance over the altcoins is close to 42%.

Tezos on the Move

Most alternative coins registered similarly impressive gains in the past week or so. Ethereum went from struggling to remain above $2,000 to a multi-week high north of $3,100. The second-largest crypto has calmed since then, but it’s still around that line.

The remaining larger-cap alts have either stalled or retraced slightly. Binance Coin is down by 3%, Solana by 2.6%, Terra by 3.5%, Dogecoin by 3%, while Shiba Inu has lost the most (-6%). This comes despite the recent introduction of Metaverse real estate by the memecoin project.

LEO Token is the best performer on a daily scale with a massive 50% surge. This is perhaps a direct consequence of the positive development in regards to the Bitfinex hack.

Tezos is another impressive performer following a 12% surge. Consequently, XTZ now trades above $4.5.

The crypto market cap topped $2 trillion yesterday, but it’s slightly below that line after a minor daily decline.

Bitcoin Touched $43K: Ripple Soars 12% to a 3-Week High (Market Watch)

by CryptoPotato

Bitcoin’s recent bullish run continued with another minor leg up that drove it to a high of $43,000. Most altcoins have produced similar slight increases; some, such as Shiba Inu and XRP, have exploded with massive double-digit pumps.

Bitcoin Touched $43K

Ever since last Friday, when the cryptocurrency began its rapid ascent from $37,500, the BTC landscape has remained significantly more positive. Bitcoin surged to and beyond $40,000 in a matter of hours for the first time since mid-January.

The asset remained relatively calm, around $41,500 during the weekend before it initiated another price increase. This time, the bulls drove it to $43,000 for the first time since the market-wide correction started on January 21st.

As of now, BTC has been unable to reclaim that level decisively and has retraced by a few hundred dollars. Nevertheless, its market capitalization has surged above $800 billion. Just last week, the metric was down below $700 billion.

SHIB and XRP Steal the Show

Most alternative coins followed BTC on the way up with impressive gains in the past several days. Ethereum, for example, struggled to remain above $2,000 just a week or so ago. Now, though, the second-largest cryptocurrency stands well above $3,000 and even challenged $3,100 a few hours ago.




Thanks for subscribing, you will get your first report in the next hours!


Binance Coin, Cardano, Solana, Polkadot, and Terra have marked similar gains in the past 24 hours of between 2% and 4%. More impressive increases come from Dogecoin and Avalanche.

However, Ripple and Shiba Inu have taken the main stage from the larger-cap alts. SHIB has exploded by more than 20% in a day, as reported earlier, and stands near $0.00003.

XRP, on the other hand, is up by approximately 13%. As a result, the asset tapped a three-week high at over $0.75.

More gains come from Quant (17%), BitTorrent (16%), LEO (14%), Kadena (13%), Loopring (12%), Gala (10%), and Fantom (10%).

The crypto market cap has increased by about $60 billion since yesterday and stands at $1.950 trillion.

Weekend Watch: Axie Infinity (AXS) Explodes 17%, Bitcoin Maintains $41K

by CryptoPotato

After surging above $41,000, bitcoin has maintained its momentum and has remained above that level. The altcoins, which marked significant gains yesterday, have stalled now. Axie Infinity is among the few exceptions after a massive double-digit surge.

Bitcoin Maintains $41K

It was just a few days ago when the largest cryptocurrency struggled to remain above $37,000 and dipped below that level on a few occasions. The bulls attempted to push it north, which resulted in trading around $38,000 on Friday.

This is where the landscape changed, though. BTC initiated an impressive leg up in the following hours and surged above $40,000 for the first time in weeks.

Moreover, bitcoin even reclaimed $41,000 and neared $42,000. As of now, the asset stands just shy of that level, and its market capitalization is close to $800 billion once more.

More slight decreases come from Binance Coin, Cardano, Solana, Ripple, Polkadot, Terra, Dogecoin, Avalanche, and Shiba Inu.

In contrast, CRO is up by another 3%, while Litecoin has surged by 8% and stands above $125.

Crypto Markets Add $170 Billion in a Day as Bitcoin Explodes Above $41K (Weekend Watch)

by CryptoPotato

After more than two weeks of trading below $40,000, bitcoin finally made a decisive move to reclaim that coveted level. The entire crypto market followed suit with massive daily price increases from Ethereum, Binance Coin, Cardano, Sollana, Polkadot, and many others.

Bitcoin Surged $4K

It was on January 20th and 21st when the primary cryptocurrency slumped below $40,000 for the first time in months. In the following few weeks, the asset failed to recover most of the losses and even dumped to its lowest price point since late July beneath $33,000.

However, it started to add some value and challenged $39,000 several days ago, as reported. It was rejected at first, and the bears pushed it below $37,000 almost immediately.

This is where the situation changed, though. While trading between $37,000 and $38,000 yesterday, bitcoin went on a tear and exploded above $40,000 for the first time in over two weeks.

It only kept climbing in the following hours, and BTC is now situated at around $41,500. This means that the cryptocurrency is up by $4,000 since yesterday. As a result, its market capitalization, which had dumped beneath $700 billion just days ago, is now close to $800 billion.

Alts With Massive Gains

As it typically happens when bitcoin goes through enhanced volatility, so do the altcoins. Ethereum struggled to remain above $2,000 just days ago. Now, though, the second-largest cryptocurrency trades above $3,000 after another 7% daily increase.

Binance Coin, Polkadot, Terra, Avalanche, MATIC, and Shiba Inu have also surged by double digits since yesterday. A bit more modest gains come from Cardano, Solana, Ripple, Dogecoin, and CRO.

As expected, the lower- and mid-cap alts have displayed even more significant fluctuations. Gala leads the way with a 30% surge, followed by LEO (25%), JUNO (20%), The Sandbox (18%), NEAR Protocol (16%), Mina Protocol (16%), THETA Network (15%), Loopring (14%), THORChain (14%), and many others.

Ultimately, the cumulative market cap of all crypto assets has increased by about $170 billion since yesterday’s low to above $1.9 trillion.

Bitcoin Taps $38K: Ethereum Marks a Two-Week High Above $2.8K (Market Watch)

by CryptoPotato

After dipping to a weekly low at $36,300, bitcoin started to recover some value and now sits around $38,000. The altcoins are also in a significantly more positive situation today, led by Ethereum’s impressive increase that pushed ETH to a two-week high above $2,800.

Altcoins See Green: ETH at a 2-Week High

The bears had complete control over the market yesterday, with almost all altcoins bleeding out. Ethereum, for example, dipped to $2,600 after failing to overcome $2,800 a day earlier.

Now, though, ETH is among the best performers on a daily scale. The second-largest crypto has jumped by roughly 6% since yesterday and sits above $2,800. This is the highest price tag ETH has seen since January 21st.

Solana, which dropped by 10% yesterday after a hack on a Solana-based bridge, is up by 7%. Consequently, SOL has reclaimed $100.

Binance Coin, Cardano, Ripple, Polkadot, Terra, Dogecoin, Avalanche, Shiba Inu, and MATIC are also slightly in the green.

More significant gains come from NEO (11%), Cosmos (10%), Hedera (10%), Kusama (10%), IOTA (9%), NEXO (9%), Convex Finance (9%), and others.

The crypto market cap has increased by about $70 billion, but it’s still below $1.7 trillion.

Bitcoin Touched $38K

The primary cryptocurrency also suffered yesterday after a few days of marking gains. The asset touched its highest price tag in ten days on February 2nd at above $39,000, but the bears intercepted the move and pushed it south.

As reported yesterday, though, the landscape had changed. BTC dumped by a few thousand dollars and went to a weekly low of $36,300. However, it reacted well to this drop and started to reclaim value almost immediately.

In the following hours, bitcoin spiked to $38,000 where it’s currently situated, and its market capitalization has remained above $700 billion.

Market Watch: Bitcoin Slipped to $36.5K, Solana Crashed 10% Following $320M Bridge Hack

by CryptoPotato

Аfter touching a ten-day high above $39,000, bitcoin went on the downturn and dipped below $37,000. The altcoins have also retraced today, with Solana being the most substantial loser after an exploit on a network bridge for $320 million worth of ETH.

Bitcoin Slid Beneath $37K

The past several days were actually going rather well for the largest cryptocurrency. After dropping to $36,500 on Monday, as reported, the asset changed its trajectory and started to gain value.

This resulted in pushing above $38,000 and even a few consecutive attempts to challenge $39,000. The latest one came in a brief push above that level, which became the highest price tag in ten days.

However, BTC stalled for the following 12 hours, as reported yesterday. After being unable to challenge $39,000 once more, the bears stepped up and drove the cryptocurrency south. This time, bitcoin tanked to $36,500 once again.

As of now, it has recovered a few hundred dollars and sits around $37,000. As such, its market capitalization is close to breaking below $700 billion.

Altcoins in Red: SOL Dumps Double Digits

The altcoins registered impressive gains on Tuesday before stalling on Wednesday. Now, though, most are deep in the red.

Ethereum touched $2,800 two days ago, marking a multi-week high. However, a 3% decline since then has driven the second-largest cryptocurrency to below $2,700.

Similar daily price drops are evident from Binance Coin, Cardano, Ripple, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu from the larger-cap alts. Polkadot, Terra, and Avalanche have charted more significant losses, while Solana has dumped the most.

Following an exploit against a Solana-based bridge called Wormhole, in which the perpetrators swiped $320 million worth of ETH, SOL started to tank in value. As of now, the asset is down by 10% in a day to below $100.

More declines come from Arweave (-13%), Convex Finance (-12%), Curve DAO Token (-10%), Kusama (-9%), Synthetix Network Token (-9%), The Sandbox (-8%), and others.

The crypto market cap is down by $110 billion since yesterday’s peak and sits around $1.650 trillion.

Market Watch: Bitcoin Maintains $38K, Polkadot Pushed Dogecoin Out of the Top 10 Cryptocurrencies

by CryptoPotato

After yesterday’s enhanced volatility again, where bitcoin tapped a ten-day high above $39,000, the asset has calmed just below that level. Most alternative coins are untypically stable on a daily scale, with ETH standing beneath $2,800 and Polkadot reclaiming $20.

Bitcoin Remains Above $38K

The past several days were quite volatile for the leading digital asset, starting from a near $2,000 drop on January 31st that drove it from above $38,000 to a multi-day low at just over $36,500.

After stalling at that line for a bit, bitcoin went on the offensive during the weekend. As reported on Sunday, the asset reclaimed $37,000 and even tried its hand at $38,000.

It was rejected at first, but the bulls kept the pressure on and pushed BTC further north. This time, BTC even challenged $39,000. It briefly exceeded that level yesterday, which became the highest price tag in ten days.

However, bitcoin failed to sustain that level and has retraced to around $38,500 as of writing these lines. As such, BTC’s market cap has remained well above $700 billion.

Polkadot Surpasses Dogecoin

The alternative coins marked significant gains yesterday, with Ethereum leading the pack following a double-digit price surge. As of now, the second-largest digital asset has calmed and sits just under $2,800. Binance Coin, Ripple, and Dogecoin are in a similar position, with minor daily declines.

In contrast, Solana, Cardano, and Avalanche have marked insignificant increases since yesterday. SOL stands at $110, ADA is above $1.05, and AVAX is north of $70.

Polkadot’s 3% increase in a day means that DOT trades above $20. Moreover, DOT has become the 10th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, according to CoinMarketCap, thus replacing Dogecoin.

The cumulative market capitalization of all crypto assets has declined slightly since yesterday, but it’s still above $1.6 trillion.

Bitcoin Spiked to 10-Day High: Solana and Terra (LUNA) Explode 17% (Market Watch)

by CryptoPotato

After dipping below $37,000 yesterday, bitcoin went on the offensive and added more than $2,000 in hours to tap a new 10-day high. The alternative coins are also well in the green, with notable gains registered from Ethereum, Solana, Terra, and others.

Bitcoin Taps $39K

The past several days have been highly volatile for the primary cryptocurrency. Just on Thursday, it dipped to $35,500 on two separate occasions before it started to regain some value and touched $38,000 during the weekend.

It even spiked to $38,600 as reported on Sunday, but the bears stepped in and didn’t allow any further gains. Just the opposite, they pushed the asset south, and BTC dumped below $38,000 hours later.

The situation worsened yesterday as bitcoin dropped by another $1,000. However, this is where the bulls came to play. In the following hours, BTC started to regain value rapidly and exceeded $38,000.

Moreover, it initiated another leg up that resulted in briefly touching $39,000, which became the highest price tag in about ten days. As of now, bitcoin has retraced slightly, but its market capitalization has shot up to well above $700 billion.

Altcoins See Green

The alternative coins bled out yesterday, but most are well in the green now. Ethereum leads the way with a massive 10% increase that has driven the second-largest crypto to just shy of $2,800.

Binance Coin, Cardano, and Dogecoin have recorded more modest price gains of around 4% each. More increases come from Ripple, Avalanche, Shiba Inu, MATIIC, Polkadot, CRO, and others.

The most significant gainers from the larger-cap altcoins are Solana and Terra. Both have jumped by around 17% on a daily scale. As a result, SOL has reclaimed the coveted $100 mark, while LUNA sits above $50.

More daily increases come from LooksRare (19%), Osmosis (15%), Mina Protocol (14%), Cosmos (14%), Aave (13%), Gala (12%), Curve DAO Token (11%), and others.

The crypto market cap is up by around $100 billion in a day and sits close to $1.8 trillion.

New Week Starts in Red: BTC Down $1K, LUNA Plunged 10% (Market Watch)

by CryptoPotato

After failing to remain north of $38,000, bitcoin went down again and lost around $1,000 in hours. The alternative coins are in an even worse shape today, with massive price slides from Solana, Ripple, Polkadot, Terra, and others.

Bitcoin Slipped $1K

Ever since last Thursday, when BTC dipped to $35,500 for the second time in two days, the situation with the asset seemed significantly more positive.

It was regaining value gradually and tapped $37,000 a few days later. Moreover, it kept climbing during the weekend and tapped a high of $38,700 (on Bitstamp).

However, it failed to continue the momentum going and started to lose value. This resulted in bitcoin settling around $38,000, as reported yesterday, but the situation worsened in the following hours.

More precisely, bitcoin dumped below $37,000 in a violent candle. As of now, BTC stands just slightly above that line, and its market capitalization is set at $700 billion.

Altcoins in a Sea of Red

The alternative coins were particularly impressive during the weekend, especially on Saturday, but the landscape is entirely different now, with red dominating almost all charts.

Ethereum went to a multi-day high above $2,600, but a 3.2% decline since then has pushed the second-largest crypto to just over $2,500. Binance Coin, Cardano, Dogecoin, and Chainlink have marked similar losses since yesterday.

However, Solana, Ripple, Polkadot, Terra, Avalanche, Shiba Inu, MATIC, and CRO have registered more significant price slides. SOL is down by 6%, XRP by 5.5%, DOT by 7%, AVAX by 8.5%, SHIB by 7%, MATIC by 7%, and CRO by 6.2%. Terra has lost the most again, with a double-digit drop to $45.

More losses are evident from Waves (-11%), Kadena (-11%), Fantom (-10%), Theta Network (-10%), Harmony (-9%), Kusama (-9%), and others.

The crypto market cap has declined by around $60 billion since yesterday and is just shy of $1.7 trillion.
