Bitcoin’s Market Cap Surges Past These Payment Behemoths 3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Overall, the crypto market showed an increase of more than $80 billion in the third quarter of February, despite the recent crackdown by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC].<\/p>\n

After a difficult first and second quarter, crypto markets showed signs of a bullish run and gaining momentum, shrugging off any obstacles or bad news including Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

The king coin had an impressive debut in 2023 with an over 51% rally. In addition, its third \u201cflippening\u201d of Visa followed 14 days of price rises between January 4 and January 17.<\/p>\n

As reported previously by TronWeekly<\/a>, for the second time in a row, Bitcoin rose above the $24k mark. It surged to a 6-month high defying the traders\u2019 gloomy outlook.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the market entering the second half of February, BTC gained tremendous traction after numerous users and investors shifted their investments from other altcoins and into the crypto beast.<\/p>\n

This is demonstrated by the data from the previous week, which showed that the asset increased by over 11% dominating the trading charts as users exchanged other cryptocurrencies into BTC in response to SEC restrictions.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s How Bitcoin Will Reach $30000<\/h2>\n

One analyst even forecasted that the leading cryptocurrency would reach $30k in the next weeks.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s latest support level is $23,000, according to Joe DiPasquale, CEO of cryptocurrency fund manager BitBull Capital, and the coming week is crucial if BTC is to reach $30,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was critical for Bitcoin to reclaim $23,000 if we were to see more upside action,\u201d he said in an interview. \u201cWith February coming to an end, another bullish monthly close may be what the market needs for Bitcoin to test $30,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, DiPasquale believes that the market will likely consolidate, if not rise, in the near future, with little room for decline.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing this article, BTC was valued at $24,926, with a marginal increase in the past 24 hours. The dominant crypto\u2019s market capitalization stood at $480 billion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
