The cryptocurrency market is showing signs of recovery following a sharp drop earlier this week. Bitcoin briefly plunged to $89,000 on Monday, marking its lowest point in 24 days ahead of the U.S. CPI report. Major altcoins mirrored Bitcoin’s movement, with many shedding over 10% in value within 24 hours. The global crypto market cap currently stands at $3.29 trillion, rebounding after a $150 billion loss yesterday. Trading volumes surged 127%, reaching $174 billion.

Bitcoin Shows Recovery, Ethereum Stays Weak

Bitcoin is currently trading above $95,000, demonstrating signs of stabilization after Monday’s steep decline. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) remains under pressure, dropping approximately 3% in the last 24 hours. Adding to the market’s dynamics, BlackRock has introduced a Bitcoin ETF variant on the CBOE Canada exchange, advancing mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin’s 24-hour performance shows a low of $89,300 and a high of $95,275, reflecting a modest 1% gain. According to Farside Investors, Bitcoin ETFs experienced significant outflows of $313 million on Monday. Fidelity led the sell-off with $113 million, while Ark and 21Shares collectively recorded $92 million in withdrawals. Market watchers anticipate BlackRock’s ETF data, which could further influence BTC’s price trajectory.

Ethereum, on the other hand, is trading at $3,154 after a 3% decline. Its 24-hour range stands between $2,921 and $3,266. Among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, Ethereum recorded the largest drop, compounded by a $52 million sell-off from Grayscale’s ETH ETF.
