The largest and oldest cryptocurrency ignored a drop below $50,000 the day before, as hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data came out and allowed it to experience a major price increase during trading hours in Europe. CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index data indicates that Bitcoin has closed above $50,000 only 145 times in its history, and this was one of them.

This rally propelled Bitcoin's market value back above $1 trillion, marking its return to this milestone since December 2021. Bitcoin's 4.7% gain over 24 hours mirrored the broader market's advance reflected in the CoinDesk20 Index. Altcoins like Cardano's ADA and Dogecoin (DOGE) surged 6%, while Ether (ETH) climbed over 5% to reach $2,750, its highest level since May 2022. Market sentiment remains bullish, with options traders speculating that Bitcoin could reach $75,000 in the near future, and some targeting the $64,000 mark as demand for spot Bitcoin ETF products increases.

A major reason for the recent plunge is market concerns over a repeat of the "halving cycle"—that is, after a supply reduction triggers a boom, a deep correction inevitably follows. Panic selling by investors, combined with a stagnation of institutional funds and macroeconomic headwinds, have collectively led to a collapse in market confidence.
