The past 24 hours saw the cryptocurrency market expand its capitalization by more than $110 billion, pushing for the $2.2 trillion mark. This comes on the back of gains from Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and most of the remaining altcoins.

Lets dive in.

Bitcoins price increased by a whopping 11.5% in the past seven days. Traders are currently battling with the pivotal psychological and technical resistance level at $60,000, charting an increase of around 2.6% today alone.

BTCs gradual ascend throughout the week. At first, the bulls were struggling to push forward, attempting to break $55K on a few occasions last weekend, but things took a swift turn on September 10th when the price shot up toward $58,000. The price consolidated there for a few days, and now, the bulls are attempting to conquer yet another important level.

The altcoin market is also performing impressively. Ethereum is charting gains upwards of 8%, BNB is up more than 13%, SOL more than 9%, and so forth.

Its worth noting, though, that this renewed rally didnt come without a good reason.

As it turns out, MicroStrategy, the worlds largest corporate HODLer, added more BTC to its stash. Michael Saylor announced today a whopping $1.1 billion buy at a notional price of around $60,000 per unit. Surely, this has cushioned the market, and it might have prevented a more aggravated downfall throughout the last few weeks.

Donald Trump the former US President and the current presidential candidate from the Republican Party just announced that he will be launching a digital currency platform called World Liberty Financial. It will feature a digital wallet, a credit account system, as well as lending options operating with stabelcoins.

All in all, it has been an exciting seven days in the industry, especially with the US Presidential election drawing near.
