The total crypto market cap (TOTAL) ran well during the intra-day highs but fell soon after. The same was true with Bitcoin (BTC), which is below key support. But dogwifhat (WIF) capitalized on the earlier sentiment, noting a massive leap in the last 24 hours.
In the news today:-
- Federal Judge Robert Shelby ordered the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to pay $1.8 million in legal costs to a crypto firm called D.E.B.T. Box. This was the result of the SEC’s failed lawsuit.
- BlackRock surpassed Grayscale to become the biggest spot Bitcoin ETF in the world. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) higher 1.5% fee led to significant investor pullout.
The Total Market Cap Did Not Surprise
The total market cap is hanging around the $2.5 trillion mark after failing to cement it as a support floor for nearly a week now. The start of the day was seemingly bullish, with TOTAL nearly reaching above the support floor. However, this did not stick.

Talking about the current market sentiment, Michaël van de Poppe, the Co-Founder CIO of MN Trading Consultancy, exclusively told BeInCrypto,
“The current market sentiment surrounding Bitcoin is comparable to the calm before the storm. It’s consolidating between $60-73K since early March, building up stamina for a big breakout. The fact that many institutions are investing into the Spot Bitcoin ETF, while governments are eagerly discussing potential opportunities of adoption of Bitcoin (Argentina recently decided to investigate a solution with Bitcoin for their economy),” van de Poppe stated.
He went on to say that:
“It’s driving the adoption of Bitcoin further, through which the main factors for Bitcoin price action is based on the macroeconomic playing field with a weakening US Dollar, while China and other countries are accumulating more Gold… Crypto-intrinsic market movements are solely dedicated to XRP and Ethereum. If XRP wins the lawsuit (which is on the horizon)… if Ethereum is going to be listed on the exchanges after approval of the S-1 files, it suggests that there’s a strong continuation going to be happening on everything,” van de Poppe concluded.
Bitcoin Price Remains Steady
Although Bitcoin’s price did slip below the support of $68,500, it still exhibits bullish signs. Investors have been focused on accumulating, which will drive BTC to reach $70,000 again this quarter.
However, should the delayed uptick trigger investor uncertainty, selling could be on the cards. As a result, the Bitcoin price could drop to $66,000.
Dogwifhat Steals the Altcoin Show
WIF price was an unexpected leader among the many crypto assets that could be observed to rise. The meme coin marked a 20% rise in the last 24 hours when the altcoin breached the resistance of $4 during the intra-day high.
The meme coin seems on track to breach the resistance marked at $4.2. If flipped into support, this level could enable the WIF price to chart a new ATH beyond $4.8.
