The total crypto market cap (TOTAL) and Bitcoin (BTC) haven’t seen a specific catalyst for their sustained growth, but simple bullishness has been observed across the market. Altcoins, on the other hand, are doing very well with Pi Coin (PI) posting a 28% rise in the last 24 hours.
In the news today:-
- Hong Kong is set to issue its first stablecoin licenses under its Stablecoin Ordinance, with HSBC, Standard Chartered’s Anchorpoint joint venture, and OSL Group reportedly shortlisted as recipients. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority is expected to make the official announcement as early as next week, following the conclusion of China’s Two Sessions parliamentary meetings.
- An ARK Invest report warns that approximately 6.9 million Bitcoin worth $483 billion could be vulnerable to quantum computing attacks, with quantum algorithms like Shor’s algorithm theoretically capable of deriving private keys from public keys. The risk is most concentrated in early P2PK address formats where public keys are already visible on-chain, with roughly 1.7 million BTC in those addresses assumed lost and unable to be migrated to safer formats.
The Crypto Market Rises
The total crypto market cap gained $37 billion over 24 hours, reaching $2.40 trillion. Gradual growth of this nature tends to be more sustainable than sharp price spikes. This steady momentum signals genuine market recovery rather than speculative excess, providing a healthier foundation for continued upside.
TOTAL has successfully flipped $2.37 trillion into support, a technically significant development for sustained recovery. The next major barrier sits at $2.45 trillion, a level that must be cleared to extend the bullish trend. Breaking above that resistance would bring the psychologically important $2.50 trillion level into immediate focus.

Worsening market conditions could reverse recent progress. A breakdown below the newly established $2.37 trillion support would erase a meaningful portion of the current recovery. Such a move would drag the total market cap toward $2.32 trillion, undermining the bullish structure and raising fresh doubts about the durability of the ongoing rebound.
Bitcoin Inches Closer To Resistance
Bitcoin is trading at $71,214, pressing just below the $71,529 resistance level for the second time this month. Prior rejection at this ceiling raises legitimate questions about whether bulls can muster sufficient force for a clean breakout. The outcome will likely determine Bitcoin’s directional bias for the sessions ahead.
Sustained bullish momentum supported by favorable broader market conditions could finally push Bitcoin through $71,529. A confirmed breakout above that resistance would clear the path toward $74,000. Consistent buying support at each retest of the breakout level would validate the move and strengthen the case for continued upside.
Weakening capital inflows transitioning into outflows pose a significant reversal risk. Should that shift materialize, Bitcoin would face renewed selling pressure and likely retreat toward $68,665. A confirmed close below that level would invalidate the current bullish thesis.
Pi Coin Takes The Top Spot
Pi Coin is trading at $0.288, marking a 28% surge over 24 hours after breaching the $0.281 resistance level. The altcoin is now targeting the $0.307 resistance as the next key barrier. This sharp move reflects strong buying conviction, positioning Pi Coin for a potential continuation if momentum holds.
Ideal market conditions supporting a $0.307 breakout would open the path toward the $0.325 barrier. Sustained buying pressure at each support retest would validate the bullish structure. However, the speed of the current rally raises questions about whether this momentum is healthy enough to sustain further meaningful upside.
Overbought conditions present a growing reversal risk. Overextended momentum frequently precedes sharp corrections, and Pi Coin’s rapid ascent amplifies that vulnerability. Thus, losing the $0.265 support would confirm a bearish reversal, exposing the altcoin to a decline toward $0.239 and fully invalidating the current bullish thesis.
