On Thursday, things are looking positive for Bitcoin and altcoins, but breakdown is still possible. Bitcoin’s purchasing and selling prices are 2.8 percent higher. BTC is currently standing at $46,139.00 with the change of 0.02%. The market cap of the coin is $867,914,698,304 along with the trading volume of $44,921,767,022 in the last 24 hours.

The circulating, maximum and total supply is 18,810,868.00 BTC, 21,000,000 and 18,810,956, respectively. Bitcoin volatility is ready for a comeback, with many predicting a “rapid” run towards $50,000. While BTC/USD has remained relatively unchanged overnight, all of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization have gained at least 4%.

Meanwhile Ethereum is trading at $3,484.41 with market cap of $406,988,192,295. The failure of Ether to rise and hold over $4,000 may have prompted aggressive profit-taking by short-term traders.

After the price fell below the immediate support level of $3,705.05., the selling became more intense.  On the order hand there is a little increase in the value of DOGE which is currently traded at the value of $0.2537 along with zero maximum supply. Solana (SOL) is currently trading above $200, up 32% in just 24 hours.

Performance improvement among key cryptocurrencies, is giving encouragement to Bitcoin’s positive short-term argument. Bitcoin is expected to hit $100,000 in late 2021 or early 2022, and $175,000 in the long run, according to a cryptocurrency research team.

Every bull market includes corrections in which the weak hands are shook out and the strong hands strengthen their holdings. As a result, if investors believe in the long-term thesis, the pullbacks should not bother them.
