SUMMARY
Cryptocurrencies traded mixed on Wednesday. Bitcoin regained above $19,000 levels, and Ethereum remained below $1,300. The global crypto market cap stood at $918.3 billion, with a volume of $48.8 billion in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin | The world’s largest and most popular virtual currency, Bitcoin, rose 0.3 percent to $19,066.2. Its market value stood at $365.4 billion. The trade volume was at $27.2 billion.

“BTC struggles to reestablish the $19,000 level as support which is crucial for bulls. If bulls lose control over it, BTC’s support might fall to $18,000. Since the volume is low, the bounce back might take some time,” said Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder of Mudrex.

Ethereum | The second largest virtual currency, Ethererum or Ether, rose 0.3 percent to $1,283.9 with a market capitalisation of $157.3 billion. The trade volume of Ethereum was $8.3 billion in the last 24 hours.

On Ethereum, Patel said, “Ethereum’s price continues to struggle to achieve a bullish trend post the Merge. If ETH can reclaim the $1,400 level, we might see an upward trend. But a drop below the current level could result in ETH retesting the $1,000 zone.”

Dogecoin | Meme-based virtual currency, Dogecoin, jumped 2.3 percent on Wednesday. Its market value stood at almost $8 billion. The trade volume was at $42.5 billion.
