Volume

The last month has been written in the history books as a trading session that has offered some amazing returns in the blockchain and digital asset market. Following the protracted bearish trading period, the world’s top cryptocurrency managed to hit and exceed the $9.5k price level, a thing it last did in May and June of 2019 when it traded above $13k.

During the last year, PrimeXBT’s user base has skyrocketed, and the platform’s trading volume exploded in growth. And it’s not uncommon while browsing crypto Twitter or any of the Reddit cryptocurrency subreddits to see traders clamoring about the ROI generated using the platform’s trading tools.

Since December last year, Bitcoin has unquestionably blown up higher and higher. As we talk now, the dominant altcoin is up by more than 35% since its bottom of $6,600 (Dec 17, 2019).

Yesterday, the entire market capitalization of the cryptocurrency industry increased by around 9.5% to approximately $238.112 billion. That was achieved with $165.287 billion daily traded volume, 203% volume increase which hypothetically indicated the outset of the 2020 alt season, and possibly the next bull run. Even though Bitcoin (BTC) price soared with the rest of the industry, it didn’t change as positively as the rest of the major altcoins, so, it managed to decline by more than two points of dominance, and reduced up to almost 66.4 percent.

In the past few days, Bitcoin formed a weird correlation to normal hide-out assets such as Gold, when its trading price skyrocketed as political turmoil between the United States and the Middle East region started increasing earlier this year, and the price began plunging as tensions slighted relaxed. Due to the fear of losing their holdings, it is expected that most people living in both regions, decided to seek safe haven in cryptocurrencies especially BTC, and because of that its price had to surge.

Today the cryptocurrency market has marked a turnaround and this could be because of ongoing US-Iran political turmoil. In fact, most cryptocurrencies have the positive (+) sign. Starting with Bitcoin, whose dominance not only resists, but is currently more than 69%, therefore growing. Investors are wondering if this is a "physiological" retracement or if the sector is benefiting from an effective recovery.

The crypto markets have experienced explosive growth since Bitcoin’s inception in 2009, and this is emblematic by the massive climb in the aggregated market’s 24-hour trading volume – which has surged from roughly $10 million in 2014 to hitting over $100 billion in late-October.

Adoption in digital currencies, especially Bitcoin (BTC), appears to be growing at a high rate in the Hong Kong SAR. Last week, a Bitcoin startup firm LocalBitcoins saw its peak trading volume ever in the special administrative region Hong Kong.

The globe’s top digital asset by market cap, Bitcoin (BTC), is currently experiencing a bearish trading session. Bitcoin is struggling to hit again and surpass its 30-day high price of about $10929.36, where it had a MC of over $195.481 billion and daily volume of more than $15.98 billion, on Tuesday August 20, 2019.
