Multi-Month Highs: Bitcoin Reached $51K as ETH Touched $4K

Must read

The cryptocurrency market capitalization reached $2.3 trillion as bitcoin and ether registered their highest price levels since May.

The Bitcoin bulls continued to push the cryptocurrency north in the past 24 hours, resulting in a multi-month high of just over $51,000. Most altcoins also performed well in the same timeframe, with ETH touching $4,000 for the first time since mid-May.

Bitcoin Tapped $51K

September didn’t start all that well for bitcoin as the asset fell to a multi-day low of $46,300 on Wednesday. However, this is where the situation quickly changed.

The primary cryptocurrency started rising somewhat rapidly. It added $4,000 of value in a day and briefly exceeded $50,000. Conquering that level, though, wasn’t all that easy, and BTC dropped by $2,000 to $48,400.

Yet, bitcoin didn’t stay down for too long and initiated another leg up in the past 24 hours. This time, it spiked above $50,000 and kept climbing to a daily high of $51,060. This became the highest price tag since the mid-May correction.

Since then, BTC retraced slightly, but it still trades above $50,000 as of writing these lines. Its market capitalization has neared $950 billion, but its dominance struggles at around 41.5%.
