- The cryptocurrency market is gaining ground; bulls finally have their say.
- Bitcoin and major altcoins are in green on a day-on-day basis.
The cryptocurrency market stopped falling and switched from bloody red to deep green color as Bitcoin and all major altcoins are demonstrating significant gains ranging from 1% to 12%. The total capitalization of all digital assets in circulation dropped to $324 billion from $303 billion on Tuesday, while an average daily trading volume jumped to $98 billion from $86 billion this time on Tuesday. Bitcoin regained its market value, which is now 62.1%.
Top-4 coins price overview
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) settled above $11,000 handle and hit $11,447 during early Asian hours on Wednesday. The first digital asset is the best performing coin out of top-20, with over 12% of day-on-day gains. A sustainable recover above critical $11,000 give hope to Bitcoin bulls and create an environment for further recovery.
