Equity markets, including tech-focused Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded slightly gains yesterday. In India, the BSE Sensex has regained 54,100 level while Nifty50 is sitting above 16,100.

The global crypto market volume over the last 24 hours decreased 17% to $55 billion. The total volume in DeFi was $5 billion, representing 8.87% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume. The volume of all stablecoins was $49.78 billion, 90% per cent of the total crypto market 24-hour volume.

“Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most cryptocurrencies rose on Wednesday after tracking gains in the US equity markets. BTC gained nearly 3% over the past 24 hours. However, it may not have accumulated enough power to maintain that consistency,” Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of crypto investment platform Mudrex said.

“But if BTC can continue to hold at US$20,000 by the end of the day, one can expect a test of the US$21,000 level. On the other hand, Ethereum also hovered around US$1,171. If bulls can make a move, we may also see ETH rising to the US$1,300 level in the coming days,” he added.
