Fundamental analysis: Bitcoin leads the way 

In less than a week, the market capitalization of the crypto market soared by over 35% to $1.048 trillion. Bitcoin’s (BTC) impressive bullish run is paving the way for altcoins to follow higher.

“The $1 trillion mark cements cryptocurrency as a investable asset class that no longer sits on the fringes of Traditional Finance as a toy for retail investors. It demonstrates that this asset class is large enough to absorb large orders like we’ve seen recently with the slew of institutions entering over the last few months,” said Jack Purdy, decentralized finance analyst at Messari.

Bitcoin price received another major boost yesterday when analysts from JPMorgan said that the world’s largest digital asset could eventually reach $146,000 per coin as it attempts to establish itself as digital gold. 

“A trillion dollar market cap is a big milestone for crypto, especially considering it was below $200 billion less than a year ago. But crypto’s total market cap is still only a fraction of gold, equities, and many other assets,” said Nate Maddrey, research analyst at Coin Metrics.

Technical analysis: New Year opened in style

Uma (UMA) price has followed Bitcoin and other top altcoins higher as buyers work to record the seventh straight daily session of gains. The coin is up about 40% since the beginning of the month already as bulls continue to lay the groundwork for the return above the $20 mark.
