- Bitcoin rebounds to $87k after briefly hitting a 24-hour high of $89,206.
- XRP soars 11%, fueled by ETF inflows, reclaiming all last week’s losses.
- Global crypto market cap tops $3.02T as investor sentiment strengthens on Fed rate-cut expectations.
After several days of a bearish trend, the crypto market is bullish again, with Bitcoin making a renewed attempt at the $90K level. Today, Bitcoin briefly reclaimed $89,206 after having dropped to $80,600 last Friday. At press time, Bitcoin had settled slightly lower at $87,944, reflecting a 1.02% gain.
Meanwhile, altcoins gave a standout performance over the past 24 hours. Market data from Santiment highlighted XRP as one of the biggest gainers, soaring over 10% to trade at $2.24. This price movement has allowed XRP to recover all losses incurred last week. On Tuesday, XRP showed a weekly gain of 4.02%, compared to Bitcoin, which still reflects a 2.3% loss.
Other altcoins leading the recovery today include SUI (+11%), PEPE (+8%), NEAR (+7%), TEL (+6%), and ETH (+3%). These assets are rebounding sharply from last week’s FUD-driven pullback.
They are now attempting to build on this momentum as sidelined traders gradually re-enter the market. Notably, the global crypto market cap has rebounded above $3.02 trillion, after crashing to $2.8 trillion last week.
