Cryptocurrency bulls are up and running. The market seems to have woken up from a prolonged sleep and set in motion as all top-20 assets including Bitcoin (BTC) has grown strongly in recent 24 hours. The total capitalization of all digital assets in circulation jumped to $173B from just over $147B this time on Tuesday. An average daily trading volume catapulted from $33B to $83B.
Whatever the reason for the stellar growth, the experts believe that it is a natural reaction for the market that has been locked in a tight range for months on end.
“After being in bear territory there is a growing sense that bitcoin is back. I’m now calling that the market has bottomed and the so-called crypto winter has come to an end. I believe bitcoin will now move higher over the next few weeks and months, making steady gains for investors. As the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, this will have a positive impact on prices in the wider crypto sector,” Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group wrote.

- Bitcoin (BTC) grew by 27% in recent 24 hours. The coin is hovering around $5,000 at the time of writing.
