#TradingTools101 Today, there is a revival in the spot cryptocurrency markets: Bitcoin has risen by 2–3%, trading around $109,000, closer to its historical highs of ~ $112,000, but analysts warn of correction risks without new macro drivers. Other major altcoins also showed growth: Ethereum +7‑9%, Solana +4%, XRP +2%. The activity of retail investors and institutions has increased thanks to successful IPOs of companies like Circle, whose shares jumped by 170%, showing interest in stablecoin operators. Spot trading volumes have risen: based on end-of-2024 data, they reached ~$2.1 trillion (+142% year-over-year), with Binance holding a dominant share (~47%). Overall, the market shows signs of recovery but remains sensitive to macroeconomics and geopolitics.
