About Bitcoin
Bitcoin trades on Binance as the BTCUSDT pair, meaning it is quoted against USDT. It is priced at $79,749.45, -1.44% over the last 24 hours, with a market capitalisation of $1.61T (roughly #1 by size).
Turnover is thin, about 0.07% of market cap over 24 hours. A book that quiet tends to move on modest size, so the quoted price is easier to push than the market cap suggests.
It is at the bottom of its two-week range ($79,220.74 to $84,898.00). The weakest the coin has been priced in a fortnight.
The fortnight has been unusually tight, only 7.17% separates the two-week low from the high.
At #1 by market cap it is one of the few coins large enough that index and treasury flows, not just retail interest, show up in the volume.
Cryptoscan24 tracks BTC alongside 1490 other pairs, watching for one-second volume bursts, unusual activity against its own two-week range, and whale-sized trades, the things that tend to move a coin this size before the price does.
