Why Is the Crypto Market Up Today?

source-logo  beincrypto.com 03 June 2024 08:45, UTC

The total market cap (TOTAL) continued its sideways movement, albeit noting some growth today, as did Bitcoin (BTC)’s price. Notcoin (NOT), on the other hand, impressed the market with a massive rally over the weekend.

In the news today:-

  • Ethereum (ETH) supply on centralized exchanges reached its lowest point in years, as $3 billion worth of ETH exited since ETF approval.
  • Binance announced the delisting of three altcoins – (XEM), OMG Network (OMG), and Waves (WAVES). The latter two were a surprise, given they were among the well-performing assets in 2023.

The Total Market Cap Heals

Despite the weak bullishness in the crypto market, TOTAL has not seen considerable growth. Still stuck around the $2.50 trillion mark, the total market cap is only moving sideways.

The rise, which was consistent under May 21, took a pause following the Ethereum ETF approval and has been struggling since then. Nevertheless, TOTAL added $28 billion in value over the last 24 hours, beginning June on a positive note.

However, the $2.50 trillion market must be secured as a support floor to sustain this optimism.

Bitcoin’s Price Notes a Slight Jump

Bitcoin’s price, trading at $68,679, broke through the resistance of $68,500 today. BTC has been hovering around this price level for over 12 days now, awaiting a bullish push.

To initiate a recovery of the recent losses, BTC would first need to breach the resistance of $70,000. This would enable the world’s biggest crypto asset to close above $71,800, bringing it closer to the all-time high of $73,650.

Should either of the breaches fail, Bitcoin’s price could slip to $66,000 or lower to $64,883.

Notcoin Is Not a Joke

The altcoin that became the highlight of the crypto market towards the end of May had a spectacular weekend. NOT’s price shot up by 94% in the last 48 hours, closing at $0.022.

During the intra-day rise, the altcoin reached a high of $0.029, marking a 152% rise. While this was not sustained, the altcoin managed to register a new all-time high.

The next target for this altcoin is now $0.030, which will require a 44% jump at the hands of Notcoin. However, if NOT holders opt to sell, this growth could be invalidated, and the altcoin could fall on the charts.
