Crypto Trends 20 – 26 February 2023: Market Analysis and Performance

The crypto market had a poor week following a surprising and enriching bull run. Most assets have lost some recent gains as they experienced a mild correction. Meanwhile, the market capitalization dropped by around $60 billion but remained above the $1 trillion mark.

Bitcoin started the week riding high and around the $25,000 level. The more optimistic BTC supporters hoped for a continuous surge all the way to $30k. Unfortunately, the king cryptocurrency went on a slow and slippery slope to welcoming support at $23,000. While some may be disappointed in this devaluing, Bitcoin may not spend too much time in these shallow waters. Currently, BTC is trading at $23,200 and is eager to grow on a 1% boost in the past 24 hours.

Ethereum followed in Bitcoin’s footsteps and dropped by 6% of its value as well. The second crypto in command is now trading at $1,600, but the dreams of reaching $2k remain alive. A resurging interest in trading could soon see ETH back to higher-gaining days.

The crypto market contracted this week as most assets lost nearly half of their recent gains. This is a normal movement for a financial market that has struggled for over a year. The recent bull run, or rather sprint, was bound to bring a mild contraction. Hopefully, this downtrend will not last too many days, and the market will recover soon.

According to the most recent data from DeFiLlama, the daily trading volume on de centralized exchanges has increased by a staggering 255.36% over the past week and is getting closer to $60 billion, a level last seen four months ago. On March 11, investors rushed to move money, which caused the number to reach almost $25 billion. All of the top de centralized exchanges were in the green, and most of them saw gains of more than 100%.
