- Bitcoin’s surge to $68,490 marked its highest price since July, driving gains in crypto stocks like MicroStrategy and Coinbase.
- The “Fear and Greed” index climbed to 73 points, signaling increasing confidence in the crypto market amid Bitcoin’s recovery.
- Premarket trading saw significant increases for crypto stocks, including MicroStrategy, Coinbase, and Marathon, as Bitcoin’s price rally continued.
The shares of major crypto companies rose higher as Bitcoin passed $68,000. MicroStrategy, one of the biggest corporate Bitcoin holders, saw its shares rise by 6.6%, and Coinbase, the top US crypto exchange, saw its stocks go up by 5.4%. Coinbase once again led the indices with a gain of 6.54%, while Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms, which are involved in Bitcoin mining, also followed the trend with respective gains of 3.78% and 5.76%.
The highest daily range for digital assets today was attested by the benchmark Bitcoin price on the Bitstamp platform, which was at $68,490, the highest since July when the flagship crypto surged to $70,016. But the market had a correction shortly after that, as Bitcoin’s price fell by almost a third to $49,577.
This recent rally has again buoyed expectations and confidence in the market. In September, while the market expected declines, Bitcoin rather spiked a 7.35% recovery after August’s previous uptick of 8.74%. This sentiment is further supported by much higher open interest in CME Bitcoin futures, with open interest hitting a record high.
Crypto stocks also performed well in premarket trading, supported by Bitcoin’s rise. Coinbase Global increased by 2.2%, Bitfarms added 2.1%, and MicroStrategy saw a 2.3% rise. Riot Platforms and Marathon Holdings followed with gains of 2%, while ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF and iShares Bitcoin Trust rose by 1.5%. This overall positive trend highlights the connection between Bitcoin’s price movements and the broader crypto sector.
