And it seems that the leading cryptocurrency is living on the alternative currency markets again. As its dominance rose to a six-month high of 66%. And the total market value of cryptocurrencies rose to now reach $ 466.5 billion. At its highest level in more than two years.
Analysts are now looking to an all-time high of $20K as the next target in case momentum continues to rally. Bitcoin is now only 21% away from that peak last seen nearly three years ago.
Supportive Bitcoin news
PayPal announced that it has cancelled the waiting list for clients looking to trade cryptocurrencies, which will definitely support Bitcoin.
According to PayPal, crypto payments will soon be available to 26 million merchants globally. And the payments giant has also raised the trading cap for US-based clients from $ 10,000 to $ 20,000 per week.
Given that PayPal has a massive user base, analysts are watching to see if there is an influx of new bitcoin investors as this is likely to increase demand and push the price higher.
Crypto experts say that the foundations in both institutional and retail adoption are strong and positive. That has made many optimistic about the future of the cryptocurrency. As institutional interest is strong and open interest in Bitcoin futures is at its highest levels ever and the influx of retail incoming. PayPal has opened cryptocurrency purchases to all users today. Including providing supportive and motivating factors for the continuation of this rise.
Ignore the Coron expansion spread and the stocks decline
Bitcoin’s impressive rally above $ 16,400 comes as the Dow Jones and S&P 500 Index closed the day in the red, with losses of 1.08% and 0.97%, respectively.
While stocks initially rose after the announcement of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the American elections. Over the past few days, cases of Coronavirus infection rose to a record high of 150,000 infections per day. Which made investors fear the possibility of a new phase.
It is also possible that President Trump’s refusal to concede the election and the potential for a split of the government under the Biden administration could negatively affect investor confidence in the outlook for traditional markets.
Bitcoin has largely ignored the decline in stocks and the increasing spread of the Coronavirus, rising by 26.78% since the beginning of the current month so far and about 127.7% since the beginning of the year.
