The total crypto market capitalization has reclaimed the $2 trillion level for the first time since April 2022 as positive market sentiment and consistent inflows into spot Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) pushed BTC’s price higher.

A rally in Bitcoin’s price brought the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market cap to a multiyear high of $57,513, while Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) enjoyed a 7% pump to rest at $3,270 at the time of writing. 
Other top altcoins were also flashing green, with Solana’s SOL (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/solana-price-index">SOL</a>) gaining 9% over the last 24 hours to hit $110. XRP (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/xrp-price-index">XRP</a>), Cardano’s ADA (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ada-price-index">ADA</a>) and Avalanche’s AVAX (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/avalanche-price-index">AVAX</a>) were up 5.3%, 7%, and 6.5%, respectively, over the same period. The 10th-placed Dogecoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/doge-price-index">DOGE</a>) enjoyed double-digit gains, climbing 15% to $0.09779.
Their combined efforts have culminated in a 7.7% rally to the global crypto market value, lifting it to a 22-month high of $2.14 trillion, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
To put it into perspective, the crypto market is now some $33 billion bigger than Amazon and $42 billion larger than Google parent Alphabet.

Independent technical analyst Crypto Damus spotted the crypto market cap at $2.06 trillion, saying it was approaching a critical resistance level. 
He shared the following chart with his over 36,000 followers on X, wondering what new price discoveries would be with just 50% to go until the $3 trillion all-time high is regained.

The rallying market is basking in bullish market sentiment, given that the Fear &amp; Greed Index is showing “extreme greed” at 79 on Feb. 27, according to data from Alternative.
The index was last in the “extreme greed” zone in November 2021, when the price of the pioneer cryptocurrency reached an all-time high of $69,000.

During strong rallies, the index will likely remain in the “extreme greed” zone for an extended period. However, Alternative warns, “When investors are getting too greedy, that means the market is due for a correction.”
