Bitcoin Price Financial News

Bitcoin (BTC) neared $37,000 on Nov. 9 as a fresh BTC price surge appeared to take traders by surprise.

Marathon Digital Holdings, a prominent Bitcoin mining company, has announced a remarkable financial performance in the third quarter of 2023. The company reported a substantial 670% year-on-year increase in profit, primarily driven by a nearly five-fold rise in Bitcoin production.

cryptocurrency market cap surged nearly 1% to around $1.33 trillion in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin was up 0.16% at $34,930 as of 12:10 p.m., while Ethereum was just below the $1,900 level. Other popular altcoins, including Dogecoin and Toncoin, rose over 6% each. BNB, Cardano, Solana, Polygon, Polkadot, and Litecoin also surged. Meanwhile, XRP advanced 3% amid Ripple’s involvement with noteworthy projects including a newly announced CBDC pilot in Georgia and its inclusion in Dubai’s virtual assets regime.

Bitcoin’s revival. Gauges tracking the bottom half and 30 mid-tier tokens in MarketVector’s index of the largest 100 digital assets are up 16% and 14% respectively so far in November — exceeding the wider measure’s 4% gain and a 1% rise in Bitcoin. As a result, Bitcoin’s share of the $1.38 trillion crypto market is down to about 49% from a peak of 51.5% in October, CoinGecko data shows. Digital-asset investors often view such a drop as a sign of growing risk appetite. “This rally is definitely broader and more sustained than any price action we have seen since January,” said Richard Galvin, co-founder at Digital Asset Capital Management. “In an environment that’s still relatively thin in regards to liquidity, we’re seeing some material moves to the upside.”

Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex, said, «Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has been hovering around the $35,000 mark. This fluctuation may be attributed to traders cashing in their Bitcoin profits and reallocating them into altcoins. Another potential factor could be the United States reporting a gain of 150,000 jobs in October, falling short of the 180,000 predicted by economists and a decline from September's 297,000 figure.»

After the end of a two-day policy meeting, Powell said the better course of action for now, given the uncertainties, was to maintain the Fed's benchmark overnight interest rate in the current 5.25%-5.50% range, and see how job and price data evolve between now and the next policy meeting in December.
