Following last week’s failure to break over $83,000, the cryptocurrency market remained quiet on Wednesday as it struggled with a critical level of support. The biggest cryptocurrency has gained 0.7% since midnight UTC and is now trading around $77,400.
Positive Developments
After the Senate voted 50-47 to limit President Trump’s authority to wage war against Iran, reducing market uncertainty, major cryptocurrencies rose during Wednesday’s Asian trading hours. As oil and Treasury rates declined, XRP, solana, and Bitcoin all rose modestly.
Investors were anticipating the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s April meeting, which added to the positive mood, and Mr. Trump had already ordered the Fed to examine the access of depository institutions to payment systems. When the biggest cryptocurrency temporarily dropped below $60,000 in early February, investors were wondering whether it was the market bottom.
While it’s impossible to tell for sure, some onchain and derivatives indices, together with bitcoin’s recent price recovery over $77,000, indicate that the worst of the current drop may be behind us.
Realized Cap is the initial statistic, and it calculates the overall worth of bitcoin by taking into account the last price each coin changed onchain. Market capitalization represents investors’ aggregate cost basis and is based on the current market price; it varies in that regard. Tracking capital entering or exiting the network is a common use case for it.
As bitcoin fell more than half from its October record high, realized cap peaked at $1.12 trillion and then dropped to around $1.08 trillion. That’s a huge loss of wealth, maybe among the biggest ever recorded. But now the indicator is beginning to stabilise and build a foundation, much as it did in the bear market lows of 2022.
