Bitcoin and the Bearish Trend of the Crypto Market
The total crypto market value has retreated by 0.58% to settle at $2.57 trillion on May 28. However, 24-hour trading volume has surged by 43.08% to $87.7 billion, indicating a resurgence in activity despite the downward trend!
Bitcoin remains highly volatile in its accumulation phase. It has lost 1.29% to fall to $68,139.23 today, after oscillating between $67,746.41 and $70,597.88. Despite this, its market cap still exceeds $1.3 trillion, with a daily volume of $28.17 billion. As for Ethereum, it has also experienced significant fluctuations, hitting a low of $3,826.20 despite the recent approval of a spot Ether ETF. Currently, ETH is trading at $3,832.82, down 2.37%.
The Unexpected Rally of Meme Coins
While major cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum are faltering, one category stands out: meme coins! The star Shiba Inu has gained an additional 1.16% compared to yesterday, now at $0.00002488. But the real champions of the day are FLOKI and BONK, the two canine projects that top the charts.
It’s a great demonstration of the resilience of these popular and fun cryptos! Their fan communities remain unaffected by market fluctuations. A lesson in optimism for investors tempted by pessimism?
In short, this tumultuous day illustrates the inherently volatile nature of the crypto market. Far from discouraging seasoned investors, these ups and downs are opportunities to discover the best opportunities. Whether with Bitcoin, major established altcoins, or trendy meme coins, the key is to keep a cool head and follow a well-thought-out long-term strategy.
