The Crypto Market Gains Bullish Momentum as Bitcoin Surges to New All-Time High
The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a resurgence in bullish momentum, with Bitcoin leading the way by reaching a new all-time high of $70,000. This surge in price has encouraged altcoins to follow suit and enter a prolonged recovery trend. Notably, meme coins and tokens related to artificial intelligence (AI) have recorded the highest growth and have been a key driving force behind the broader market rally.
Santiment, a recognized player in crypto analytics, has recently highlighted the exceptional performance of major cryptocurrencies compared to traditional assets. In a week where Bitcoin and Ethereum surged by 10.0% and 14.7% respectively, they notably outperformed the S&P 500’s modest gain of 0.5%. This suggests a significant shift in investor sentiment as cryptocurrencies are increasingly viewed as an independent asset class.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin is the first and most well-known decentralized digital currency that enables peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries. It is powered by blockchain technology and has recently entered the traditional market with the launch of spot BTC ETFs approved by the US SEC in January.
The aggressive recovery of Bitcoin’s price since late January can be attributed to a massive inflow of investment in these ETFs. From its swing low of $38,542, the price of Bitcoin has increased by 81% in six weeks, reaching the current trade price of $68,435.
The current market cap of Bitcoin stands at $1.3 billion, with a 1.4% intraday gain. A potential breakout from $70,000 could set $77,500 and $92,000 as the nearest resistance levels according to traditional pivot levels. However, the daily chart indicates potential demand zones at $63,285 and $57,450.
Dogecoin (DOGE)
Dogecoin is a peer-to-peer, open-source cryptocurrency that started as a joke but quickly gained legitimacy due to its passionate community and creative memes. It stands out for its low transaction fees, high-speed transactions, and use in tipping and charitable donations.
During the recent memecoin mania in the crypto market, Dogecoin experienced a massive inflow of investment. Its price rallied from $0.084 to its current trading price of $0.16, representing a 98% growth.
The market cap of Dogecoin currently stands at $24.1 billion, with a trading volume of $3.2 billion. Supported by a rising trendline, the price of Dogecoin may rise to $0.206 and $0.27. On the other hand, immediate support levels can be found at $0.148 and $0.13.
The Graph (GRT)
The Graph is a decentralized indexing protocol that allows for efficient querying of data across blockchains, enabling the creation of fully decentralized applications. It provides reliable access to blockchain data, making it easier for developers to build sophisticated dApps.
The native token of The Graph network, GRT, has seen an aggressive rally with five consecutive green candles on the weekly chart. From its support at $0.149, the price of GRT has rallied 160% to reach $0.39 and has uplifted the altcoin market cap to $3.69 billion.
With sustained rallies, the price of The Graph may face resistance at $0.47 and $0.54. However, occasional pullbacks may find support at $0.32 and $0.258.
Takeaway: Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead the Market Recovery
Bitcoin and Ethereum have outperformed traditional assets, signaling a prolonged recovery trend in March. AI tokens and meme cryptocurrencies have been the top-performing sectors, driving the broader market sentiment.
