Bitcoin bears have taken a rest for now as the price climbs to 6,350 level and the market cap recovers $20 billion. While some like the president of Xapo believes altcoins will get wiped out with the recession, today reflects a completely opposite picture as altcoins experience substantial gains.


Bitcoin bears take a backseat, bulls driving the prices

Bitcoin is yet again in the green and enjoying the upward momentum as prices make its way to $6,500. After weeks of constant decline, today, the prices made a small recovery. From the $6k support, bitcoin constantly moved upwards, touching $6,470 at one point.

The total market cap that lost $30 billion, has recovered about $20 billion. Yesterday, the market capitalization has plunged to $190 billion but today, managed to jump above $200 billion marks. At the time of writing, Bitcoin has been trading at $6,300 with an upward swing of over 5 percent. With a trading volume of $4.5 billion, currently, the BTC dominance is at 53.7%.

As BTC dominance keeps on rising, some believe altcoins will take a hit giving way to Bitcoin. The President of Xapo, Ted Rogers shares these sentiments as recently stated that the ongoing crypto recession will wipe out a majority of the altcoins from the market. This will bring an opportunity for the investors to buy bitcoin at a discounted price. However, this is not the case for any time soon, at least as altcoins make a recovery in the range of 3 to 15 percent.
