Sep 13, 2024 1:37 PM

The past 24 hours saw the cryptocurrency market expand its capitalization by more than $110 billion, pushing for the $2.2 trillion mark. This comes on the back of gains from Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and most of the remaining altcoins.

Lets dive in.

Bitcoins price increased by a whopping 11.5% in the past seven days. Traders are currently battling with the pivotal psychological and technical resistance level at $60,000, charting an increase of around 2.6% today alone.

BTCs gradual ascend throughout the week. At first, the bulls were struggling to push forward, attempting to break $55K on a few occasions last weekend, but things took a swift turn on September 10th when the price shot up toward $58,000. The price consolidated there for a few days, and now, the bulls are attempting to conquer yet another important level.

The altcoin market is also performing impressively. Ethereum is charting gains upwards of 8%, BNB is up more than 13%, SOL more than 9%, and so forth.
