Bitcoin and the crypto market turned green with altcoins such as Solana, Ethereum, Binance Coin recording impressive gains.
Bitcoin recorded upside movements to challenge the $44,000 mark, following successive days of struggle at the $42,000 mark. That had the altcoin market turning green on Tuesday, Ethereum rallying past $3,000, while Solana gains double digits to reclaim the $100 level.
Bitcoin Eyes $44.5K
The primary crypto touched a multi-week peak near $46K on 10 February but could not continue that uptrend as bears triggered rapid downswings. The downward movement had Bitcoin plummeting beneath $42,000 within a few days.
Nevertheless, $42,000 ensured a massive support barrier as Bitcoin bounced from its several times. Remember, the $42K region represents the 2021 January all-time peak and the 50-day Moving Average.
The previous 24 hours saw BTC reclaiming the losses, spiking to a multi-days high past $43,000. Moreover, the leading cryptocurrency continued climbing, surpassing the $44K mark.

The altcoin plunged to $2,800 after losing $400 within days. However, the leading alt by market dominance gained 8% within a day, hitting levels past $3,100 at this writing.
Binance Coin had climbed towards $430 after dipping beneath $400 during yesterday’s sessions. The lucrative picture emerged after an 8.5% upward move. Other tokens with impressive movements include Ripple, Terra, Cardano, Shiba Inu, Dogecoin, and Polkadot.
Avalanche and Solana were among the top performers, gaining 10% each. The double-digit gains had Solana surging past $100 as VAX approached $90. More upswings came from Gala (+19%), Kadena (+19%), The Graph (+19%), Mina (+17%), Helium (+12%), THORChain (+13%), JUNO (+14%), and Hadera (+15%).
