Crypto market cap recovers $76B, altcoins rally after Bitcoin hits $34K

[RSS News]

Cryptocurrency traders received a reprieve from bearish market conditions on June 23 as Bitcoin’s (BTC) brief recovery to $34,880 triggered a rally in altcoins and hope that a wider market recovery will occur if the path laid out by the*Wyckoff distribution model rings true.

According to data from CoinMarketCap, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell by nearly $230 billion between June 20 and June 22 but it has managed to regain roughly $76 billion in value on June 23 and now sits at $1.365 trillion as some traders viewed the correction as a dip-buying opportunity.

According to "CL", a pseudonymous trader on Twitter, further cause for optimism can be found in the record surge in futures open interest at Binance.
