Crypto market cap recovers $76B, altcoins rally after Bitcoin hits $34K

Crypto market cap recovers $76B, altcoins rally after Bitcoin hits $34K

Cryptocurrency traders received a reprieve from bearish market conditions on June 23 as Bitcoin’s (BTC) brief recovery to $34,880 triggered a rally in altcoins and hope that a wider market recovery will occur if the path laid out by the Wyckoff distribution model rings true.

According to data from CoinMarketCap, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell by nearly $230 billion between June 20 and June 22 but it has managed to regain roughly $76 billion in value on June 23 and now sits at $1.365 trillion as some traders viewed the correction as a dip-buying opportunity.

The market cap for Bitcoin fell by $68 billion, or roughly 11% of its total value, on June 22 but has since recovered all losses and is actually higher now than it was before yesterday’s flash crash, sitting at $630 billion at the time of writing. 

According to "CL", a pseudonymous trader on Twitter, further cause for optimism can be found in the record surge in futures open interest at Binance.

Altcoins rack up double-digit gains

Bitcoin's bounce off its swing lows was welcomed by altcoins and data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro shows the majority of tokens in the green today.
