Bitcoin reclaims $40,000

It’s worth mentioning that the flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) has surged past the critical $40,000 price level as it climbed from $38,514 to $40,504, up 5.29% in the last 24 hours.

Prominent crypto trading expert, Rekt Capital highlighted that Bitcoin is still holding the 2022 Higher Low support if the digital asset continues to hold support it could climb as high as $43,100 in the short term.

“BTC is still holding the 2022 Higher Low as support (green). Continued support here & BTC will revisit $43,100 resistance.”

Bullish news for Bitcoin emerged as Fidelity, one of the major issuers of 401(k) retirement plans in the United States, has announced that members will be able to put a portion of their retirement portfolio into BTC, assuming that their employers permit it.

In 2018, Fidelity became one of the first large financial institutions to warm up to the then-rising asset class by launching a number of Bitcoin-centric products and services.

Dogecoin leads crypto market gains

Finally, the crypto market sentiment is also buoyed by the announcement that crypto proponent Elon Musk has finalized the purchase of Twitter for $45 billion.

In turn, Musk’s very cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE) has experienced an enormous spike in the last 24 hours. At press time, DOGE was trading at $0.1652, up 32.68% over 24 hours and 18.16% across the week.

Specifically, DOGE has added over $5 billion to its market cap in 24 hours as it leads the top 100 cryptocurrencies in terms of total gains. Finally, Finbold recently reported DOGE has just reached a four-month high in transactions by whales, suggesting that they may be positioning for a big price move in the future.
