The crypto market is seeing a moderate rebound this Tuesday, with Bitcoin climbing back above $113,200, reflecting renewed optimism among investors after a volatile start to the week.
Ethereum has also edged higher, hovering around $4,060, while sentiment across the broader market remains cautiously bullish.
Market data shows most leading altcoins trading in the green. XRP is up 1.4% at $2.50, while Cardano has gained nearly 2% to $0.68. Solana, currently at $194, continues to hold a strong position despite earlier fluctuations.
Dogecoin and TRON are also advancing, each rising more than 1% in the past 24 hours. BNB is one of the few exceptions, slightly lower after recent profit-taking.
Despite persistent macroeconomic uncertainty, digital assets appear to be regaining stability. Analysts suggest that the resilience of Bitcoin and Ethereum following recent market shocks has helped restore confidence, particularly among institutional investors. Trading volumes remain high, signaling that both retail and professional participants are re-entering the market.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other.
What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn?

He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
