Crypto Markets Add $100 Billion as Bitcoin (BTC) Soared to 18-Day Peak (Market Watch)

Bitcoin’s price remained below $100,000 for nearly three weeks, but the asset shot into six-digit territory yesterday and tapped a yearly peak of over $102,500. The altcoins are also in the green today, with DOGE nearing $0.4 and XRP at $2.45. BTC Jumped Past $102K The last two Mondays were massively different in terms of BTC price actions. On December 30, the cryptocurrency plunged from $94,000 to a monthly low of $91,300. However, it recovered a lot of ground in the following days, especially since the start of the new year. It managed to challenge $100,000 on a couple of occasions since January 4 but ultimately failed and was pushed south by a few grand. However, that changed yesterday as the bulls took complete control of the market and initiated an impressive leg-up that resulted in BTC breaking past $100,000 for the first time since December 19. The asset kept climbing in the early Tuesday morning Asian hours and jumped to an 18-day peak of $102,700 (on Bitstamp) amid the massive BTC ETF inflows. However, it failed to maintain its run and has retraced by about $1,000 since then. Nevertheless, bitcoin is more than 2.5% up on the day, and its market cap has soared to over $2 trillion once again. Its dominance over the alts has also increased to 53.8% on CG. BTCUSD.
