Bitcoin Nears $30K, Ethereum, Dogecoin Rise Defying Weak GDP Growth: Unimpressed Analyst Says, 'What A Fakeout.'
Benzinga - Major coins traded in the green on Thursday as investors evaluated the impacts of the recent banking sector issues and sluggish U.S. economic growth data.
| Cryptocurrency | Gains (+/-) | Price (Recorded 9:30 p.m. EST) |
| Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) | +2.80% | $29,547 |
| Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) | +1.13% | $1,913 |
| Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) | +0.60% | $0.080 |
What Happened: BTC experienced a slight dip following the release of the Commerce Department’s report of a tepid 1.1% gain in GDP for the first quarter. The result fell below expectations of an annualized 2% gain, along with disappointing personal consumption data. However, BTC eventually rebounded after the dip.
| Cryptocurrency | Gains (+/-) | Price (Recorded 9:30 p.m. EST) |
| Cronos | +10.09% | $0.077 |
| Immutable | +9.22% | $1.07 |
| Internet Computer | +6.25% | $5.72 |
The US stocks ended on a high note on Thursday, propelled by a splendid performance from Meta Platforms which, in turn, lifted the tech-related names. With the Nasdaq Composite soaring high by 2.43%, the S&P 500 climbed up significantly by 1.96%.
At the time of writing, the global crypto market capitalization stood at $1.21 trillion, an increase of 1.69% over the last day.

Analyst Notes: According to crypto analyst Michael Van De Poppe, the recent correction on Bitcoin has had a ripple effect on altcoins.
The analyst said that the drop in levels is quite evident with Bitcoin trading at $29,000. Moving forward, potential longs need to hold the $28,200 mark, while breaking and flipping $29,200 will continue the upward trend toward the highs.
