Bitcoin tops $71K
Market picture
Crypto market capitalisation regained another 5% in 24 hours, peaking earlier in the day at $2.7 trillion against a recent peak of 2.7 in mid-March and around $3 trillion at the end of 2021. The recovery is faster than before the decline, promising prospects for further growth.
Bitcoin has once again surpassed the psychologically important 71K. The main intrigue of the next few days is the ability to overcome the previous highs at $73.7K. Strengthening above $75K will make the growth scenario up to 95.5 workable. But until then, one should be prepared for a re-intensification of selling in the first cryptocurrency.

Goldman Sachs said there is growing client interest in cryptocurrencies, fuelled by the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs in the US. Demand is mainly coming from traditional hedge funds. However, the institution intends to reach a "broader paradigm of clients", including asset managers and banks and select cryptocurrency-focused companies.
Skybridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci advised bitcoin investors not to sell the cryptocurrency even if they are spooked by market volatility.
