Price of Bitcoin holds steady above $30k as crypto markets enjoy upside momentum

By Darren Parkin

Bitcoin and the rest of crypto continue to push upwards as news of institutional interest continues doing the rounds.

The market leader marked a high of $30,700 yesterday before finding support around $30k, where it continues to trade this morning. Ether (Ethereum) is back at $1.9k, up 5% on the day.

It’s mostly green among the large-caps, some like Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL) showing gains of more than 16% over seven days. But BTC leads the pack over this period, with its market dominance pushing past 50% earlier in the week for the first time in two years. Fear and Greed is now also firmly in Greed territory.
