Bitcoin Gains Tuesday as Traditional Markets Slump in Rare Occurrence of Crypto Outperformance
Crypto enthusiasts are rubbing their eyes in amazement on Tuesday as digital assets are outperforming U.S. stocks for what seems like the first time in weeks or months.
Just ahead of the noon hour on the east coast, bitcoin BTC$93,476.66 has risen to $93,500 after tumbling below $90,000 at one point overnight, ahead 1% over the past 24 hours. The upwards and to the right chart action is coming even as stocks continue their recent struggles, led by the Nasdaq's 1.1% decline. Gold is also posting losses on Tuesday, down 0.3%.
The moves in altcoins are more dramatic, with ether ETH$3,151.17, solana (XRP), BNB BNB$935.11 and XRP$2.2275 sporting 2.5%-4% advances.
For now, the outperformance is only a multi-hour event, let alone multi-day. Yet, given what's seemed like months of crypto's weakness relative to stocks and gold, the action could give hope to battered bulls.
