<p>The total cryptocurrency market capitalization added around 3.5 percent to about $1.79 trillion in the past 24 hours. After teasing possible entrenched market correction, <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin price</a> closed Wednesday on a bullish note, thus carrying the entire altcoin industry with it. </p> 
<p>Notably, Bitcoin’s weekly <a href="https://coinpedia.org/traders/what-is-relative-strength-index-rsi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Relative Strength Index (RSI)</a> rallied above the 70 level, thus indicating that the bulls are in control.

<p>Furthermore, the sudden crypto upsurge in the past 24 hours did not trap most traders as the total liquidations were about $107 million, with more than 80 percent consisting of short traders. Solana (SOL), Celestia (TIA), and <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/cardano-price-prediction/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cardano (ADA)</a> led the altcoin market in gains during the past 24 hours.</p>

Notably, the correlation between the stock indexes and the crypto market has been strong in the past few months until the end of January when the S&amp;P500 broke out to a new all-time high.&nbsp;</p>
