The broader crypto market had a bullish session yesterday. The total crypto market cap slid to an early low of $1,050 billion before steadying. Later during the day, the total crypto market cap surged to a high of $1,127. The global crypto market cap increased by 6.49% over the day.
Currently, $36.4 billion has flooded in, taking the market cap to $1,110 billion.
Ether (ETH) leads the market with a 7.52% jump, as Goerli—one of the largest and most active Ethereum test networks—sways the market sentiment and provides strong support.
ETH is followed by Bitcoin (BTC), which revisited the $24,000 handle for the second time in 10 sessions. BTC gained 3.47% on Wednesday and closed the day at $23,960, reversing a 2.78% drop from the previous day.
With Bitcoin revisiting the 24k resistance level, the Fear and Greed Index—a measure of market sentiment—increased from 31/100 to 41/100, reversing Tuesday’s drop (from 42/100 to 31/100). This leaves the index on the border of the neutral zone. The index last visited the neutral zone on 6 April; if it revisits the neutral zone, Bitcoin may achieve the 25k to 30k level.
