Bitcoin Holds Above $70,000 Despite Rising Oil Prices

Bitcoin remained above the $70,000 mark, recovering after briefly dipping below $69,000, as retail investor sentiment continued to stay bullish despite rising global oil prices.

Meanwhile, Ethereum and XRP underperformed compared to Bitcoin, registering only modest gains as the overall crypto market saw a slight increase of around 1%.

At the same time, trading activity in altcoins declined significantly, with volumes on major exchanges falling to about $26 billion—down sharply from over $100 billion recorded in October—indicating reduced participation in the broader crypto market.
