After dipping to $80,500 once again on Sunday, bitcoin has rebounded swiftly and tapped $83,000 earlier today for the first time since the CPI-induced nosedive in the middle of the previous week.<\/p>\n

Most altcoins are also up in the green today, defying expectations for a Black Monday as markets opened earlier. At least for now.<\/p>\n

No Black Monday?<\/h2>\n

The CPI and PPI announcements<\/a> on October 14 and 15 last week brought a new wave of concern in the markets that inflation is not going down, as both metrics exceeded expectations. Naturally, risk-on assets such as bitcoin felt the pressure. BTC dumped from over $84,000 to a monthly low of just under $80,000 in about 24 hours.<\/p>\n

It reacted well to this major leg down and jumped to $82,800. However, it was rejected again on Friday alongside most financial markets and dipped below $81,000 again. The weekend was somewhat strange in terms of price action. Instead of the usual dull movement, there was a flash crash<\/a> on Saturday evening, which intensified the calls for a Black Monday, as it happened 39 years ago.<\/p>\n

Analysts were predicting<\/a> another massive black swan event as markets started to open on Monday morning, but that hasn’t been the case so far. Just the opposite: the US futures markets are in the green, and so is BTC. The leading cryptocurrency is up by over 1% today and sits around $83,000.<\/p>\n

Its market cap has climbed to $1.660 trillion, while its dominance over the alts is well above 60%.<\/p>\n

Alts in Green Too<\/h2>\n

Ethereum has defended the $2,400 support after a mild increase since yesterday. XRP is also above a key support level, currently trading close to $1.32. SOL, HYPE, XMR, LINK, NEAR, and BCH have marked similar increases, while ZEC is up by 2.6% to $1,170.<\/p>\n

The biggest gains today come from ARB (9%) and RAY (7%), while TIA, STRK, and BTW have posted the most substantial losses.<\/p>\n

The cumulative market cap of all crypto assets has increased by over 1% on a 24-hour scale, and now sits at $2.760 trillion on CMC.<\/p>\n
