Bitcoin Surged Past $86,000 as Crypto Market Gains Momentum

Bitcoin surged past $86,000 on Monday, extending its rally despite concerns over upcoming U.S. tariffs and key economic data expected later this week. The world’s largest cryptocurrency rose 3.2% to $86,590 as of 7 AM WAT, while Ethereum climbed 2.3% to $2,047.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization increased by 2.94%, reaching $2.84 trillion in the past 24 hours. Several other major digital assets, including XRP, Cardano, and Dogecoin, also posted notable gains.

Bitcoin Surged Past $86,000, Eyeing Key Resistance Levels

Market analysts are closely watching Bitcoin’s next move, as it hovers near a critical resistance point.

“Bitcoin is holding above $86,000, registering a 3% gain today. The key resistance level to watch is $86,700; a breakout could pave the way for $90,000,” said Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus.

Bitcoin’s market capitalization now stands at $1.727 trillion, with a dominance rate of 60.73%. The 24-hour trading volume skyrocketed by 93% to $18.2 billion, signaling increased investor activity. Stablecoins continue to dominate trading, accounting for 94.74% of total transactions, totaling $57.58 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

Solana Leads Altcoin Gains as Bitcoin Surged Past $86,000

While Bitcoin surged past $86,000, Solana (SOL) emerged as one of the strongest performers, climbing over 7% in the last 24 hours to trade above $139.

Several factors contributed to Solana’s surge, including:

  • Reports suggesting that President Trump’s April 2 tariffs may be less severe than expected, boosting market confidence.

  • Federal Reserve projections indicating two potential rate cuts this year, fueling optimism for risk assets.

  • Growing adoption of Solana’s DeFi ecosystem, with TVL reaching 54.87 million SOL, the highest level since June 2022.

Additionally, over $72 million in assets have been moved from Ethereum to Solana, highlighting growing investor interest. Institutional players like Franklin Templeton and VanEck have also applied for spot Solana ETFs, further solidifying its position in the market.

What’s Next for Bitcoin and the Crypto Market?

Crypto analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s future trajectory, with BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicting a surge to $110K before a possible correction to $76.5K.

With institutional interest rising, regulatory concerns easing, and altcoins like Solana outperforming, the crypto market remains in a strong bullish phase.
