Why Is the Crypto Market Up Today?
The crypto sector’s total market cap (TOTAL) has been hovering within the $2.2 and $2.3 trillion range. Similarly, Bitcoin’s (BTC) price has struggled to close above $63,000. However, the volatility from the market managed to push altcoins up, with PEPE charting the highest gains of 20% in the past day.
In the news today:-
- Switzerland’s largest bank, UBS Group AG, disclosed its holdings of Bitcoin ETF with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The 13F filing noted that the bank holds about 3,600 shares of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT).
- US President Biden ordered to prevent the Bitcoin mining company MineOne Partners from owning land. The order blocked the miner from owning property near the nuclear missile base in Wyoming, citing “significant national security risk.”
The total market cap at $2.22 trillion is probably consolidated within the $2.2 and $2.3 trillion. After testing both the levels as support and resistance multiple times over the past few days, TOTAL will likely remain sideways bound.
A breakout in the upward direction is expected in the coming days. However, this would warrant a market-wide recovery, which requires substantial bullishness. Should it happen, TOTAL could be well on its way to securing $2.3 trillion as support.

If not, a dip below $2.2 trillion will likely send it to $2.11 trillion, which leaves TOTAL vulnerable to a decline to $2 trillion.
