The cryptocurrency market has seen a strong upward wave in the last hour. Bitcoin (BTC) broke a new all-time high of $116,586.84 minutes ago. BTC rose by 2.43% in the last hour, 5.04% in the last 24 hours, and 6.13% in the last 7 days. Its market capitalization exceeded $2.31 trillion. The market as a whole is also experiencing notable increases. Here are the highlights: Ethereum (ETH): 5.94% in the last hour to $2,989. It has been a long time since the $3,000 level was reached. Its 7-day performance has exceeded 15%. XRP: Trading at $2.54, up 1.95%. Weekly gain: 12.28%. Solana (SOL): It rose 2.13% in the last hour to $163.84. Dogecoin (DOGE): Up 2.46% to $0.1918; weekly gain exceeds 11%. Cardano (ADA): Up 2.24% to $0.6720; 7-day performance is 11.92%. Sui (SUI): It rose 13.52% in the last 24 hours to $3.46. Stellar (XLM): Stands out with its strong 24% weekly rise. With the renewed investor interest, daily trading volumes are also seeing significant increases. Bitcoin's 24-hour trading volume alone has surpassed $89 billion, while Ethereum's has surpassed $29 billion. This volatility, influenced by a number of factors including macroeconomic developments, ETF approval expectations, and institutional buying, is being interpreted as a sign of a new bull season in the crypto market. Analysts note that volatility is likely to increase, particularly as Bitcoin approaches the psychological resistance of $120,000. The expectation of an interest rate cut from the FED is also among the catalysts for the rise. The cryptocurrency market saw $687 million in liquidations in the last hour, $660 million of which was in short positions. *This is not investment advice.
