Bitcoin price today: Crypto Price Today Live: Bitcoin above $18,800; crypto market cap crosses $900 billion

New Delhi: The cryptocurrency market traded higher on Friday after US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data showed signs of cooling off inflation. Bitcoin gained 3.9% to trade above $18,800 level, whereas Ethereum rose nearly 1% to trade at $1409.

“The crypto market’s current momentum got a big boost after US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data showed signs of inflation cooling down. Bitcoin saw the biggest jump in 2 months after it breached the $19,000 mark for a short period. Bitcoin already broke major resistances of $17,000 and $18,000 and it is expected to test $20,000 in the coming days. If the macroeconomic factors continue to remain favourable, we can expect the momentum to sustain in the coming weeks,” Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin said.

BTC volume in the last 24 hours stood at approximately $31 billion, which is a jump of 32.37% in the last 24 hours.

Other top crypto tokens were also trading higher on Friday. Solana rose 4.1%. Polygon, Dogecoin, Polkadot and Tron were also trading with gains.

The price of Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, hovered around $362.8 billion, with a dominance of about 40.07%, an increase of 0.63% over the day, according to CoinMarketCap.”The total market cap of cryptos has risen over 3% in the past 24 hours. This increase is driven primarily by a small number of select coins, such as ETH. This is evident from the market breadth indicator, which assesses the number of significant cryptocurrencies trading above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA). Cryptos, including ETH, APE, ATOM, BNB, DOGE, LDO, etc., were above the 200-day SMA,” Edul Patel, CEO and Co-Founder of Mudrex said.
