- On-chain data suggests the bullish outlook was bolstered by rising demand from whales amid waning retail speculation.
- Technical analysis suggests the crypto market is not yet out of the woods but the bulls have the upper hand.
Bitcoin (BTC) price rallied 2.5% in the past 24 hours to reach a new all-time high of slightly above $112k, before retracing to trade about $111,112 on Thursday, July 10, during the early European session. The wider altcoin market- led by Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE) – rallied in tandem.
As a result, the total crypto market cap surged to $3.53 trillion, with the daily average trading volume having gained 40% to hover around $140 billion according to market data from Binance-backed Coinmarketcap. The sudden crypto pump in the past 24-hours resulted in more than $529 million liquidated from over 114,508 traders, with the shorts accounting for around $466 million.
The move also pushed Bitcoins market capitalization above that of the tech giant Alphabet (Google).
Major Reasons Why BTC and Altcoins Pumped Today
This latest BTC price to a new all-time high appears to be heavily influenced by sustained institutional buying. According to on-chain data analysis from Santiment, whale investors have been banking on the wider retail fear and FUD.
According to market research conducted by Bitwise, institutional investors have shown unwavering conviction in Bitcoins long-term prosperity.

The recent approval of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which is estimated to increase the federal deficit by $3.3 trillion in the next decade, signaled an incoming money supply in the United States. With the weakening dollar against global currencies, BTC price was expected to register bullish sentiment in the near term.

The wider altcoin market, led by Ether, followed Bitcoins bullish gains today fueled by rising speculation from both retail and institutional investors. For instance, on-chain data from Spot On Chain shows whales purchased Ether worth over $120 million in the past 24 hours.
The notable liquidation of short traders increased the odds of a short squeeze in the wider crypto market.
What Next?
The cryptocurrency market has now reached a crucial crossroads, which could either lead to a parabolic rally or a renewed correction ahead. From a technical analysis standpoint, Bitcoin price has closed above a crucial bullish flag but must consistently close above $112k to confirm a rally towards $135k soon.
Meanwhile, conviction for an altseason 2025 has surged with the Bitcoin dominance signaling a macro market reversal. Moreover, the anticipated summer of spot crypto ETF approval by the U.S. SEC has attracted more institutional investors into the wider altcoin market.
