Bitcoin is trading over $10,120 at press time, representing a 0.08% price increase on the day. One analyst, a senior qualitative researcher at crypto investment fund Ikiga named Hans Hauge, believes that BTC is still in the middle of a bull run. According to Hauge, the Bitcoin Days Destroyed (BDD) metric — which is a measure of the time between movements for some amount of Bitcoin — shows that BTC is not yet at the top of a market bubble.

The number two cryptocurrency, Ether, is one of the higher-performing tokens on the day. At press time, ETH is trading at $190.99 and has moved up in price by 3.52%. However, cryptocurrency investor and Placeholder partner Chris Burniske said just yesterday that ETH is in a bear market right now. However, he appears to believe that ETH will continue upward eventually, and noted parallels to BTC’s price patterns. Burniske remarked:
“To objective observers, the network’s momentum was clear despite the bearish price action; those predisposed to dislike based on perceived vested interests, were blinded by biases & missed the bus. What happened to $BTC then is happening to $ETH now.”

XRP, the second-largest altcoin by market cap, is trading at $0.27 and has increased by 2.25% on the day as of press time. XRP was the target of a coordinated selloff on the young crypto exchange Beaxy a little over a week ago. Beaxy moved to halt trading after XRP/BTC price plummeted to 40% of its trading value on different crypto exchanges.

The total market capitalization of the top 100 cryptocurrencies is over $265 billion at press time, per the data from Coin360.
