Following the recent volatility, bitcoin managed to sustain above $20,000 and even spiked towards $21,000. The altcoins have also charted some impressive gains in the past 24 hours, with XRP leading the race.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin Eyes $21K<\/h2>\n
After last week\u2019s massive correction, which culminated in an 18-month low at $17,500 on Sunday, the bulls have been trying to recover some of BTC\u2019s lost ground.<\/p>\n
This resulted in a jump to $21,500 a few days ago. However, bitcoin failed there and even dipped below $20,000 after Jerome Powell \u2013 the Chairman of the Federal Reserve \u2013 reaffirmed the central bank\u2019s plans to continue raising interest rates in desperate attempts to fight the skyrocketing inflation.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, BTC recovered quickly to its sub-$20,000 ride and increased<\/a> above it yesterday. The past 24 hours brought another leg up, and the asset currently sits just inches away from $21,000. Consequently, its market cap has neared $400 billion once again, but its dominance has declined to below 43%.<\/p>\n Binance\u2019s CEO believes<\/a> bitcoin will eventually chart a new all-time high above $69,000, but it could take up to two years to do so.<\/p>\n The legendary legacy investor Mark Mobius called<\/a> bitcoin a \u201cleading indicator,\u201d which is followed by the Dow Jone and other stock market indices.<\/p>\n The US arm of the world\u2019s largest exchange \u2013 Binance US \u2013 started offering<\/a> zero trading fees for BTC spot pairs.<\/p>\n Most of the alternative coins continue with their attempts to recover some of the recent losses.<\/p>\n Ethereum has been fighting with the $1,100 line for several days but seems well above it now after another 4.5% daily increase.<\/p>\n BNB has tapped a multi-day high at just over $230, following a price jump of 3.3% in a day. Cardano, Solana, and Polkadot are up by similar percentages, to $0.5, $38, and $8, respectively.<\/p>\n After announcing<\/a> a new BTC bridge yesterday, Avalanche has soared by 9% and has neared $20.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, Ripple\u2019s native token stands out as the most impressive gainer from the larger cap alts. XRP has surged by over 13% and now trades at $0.37.<\/p>\n MATIC is once again up by double-digits after stealing the show yesterday.
