Crypto Prices Today: Bitcoin Surges, Pepe Coin and FXS Lead

The cryptocurrency market seems to be bouncing back from the choppy trading on Tuesday, September 26, as investors are regaining confidence in the market. The recent macroeconomic factors as well as the regulatory hurdles have so far subdued the risk-bet appetite of the traders, wiping off the initial gains of last week in the market. However, the crypto market fear and greed index was at 39, indicating a still-fear zone.

Meanwhile, the largest crypto by market cap, Bitcoin price was still struggling below the $27,000 level, and traded at 0.72% up to $26,360.27 from yesterday. Its past 24-hour volume soared 7.18% to $10.75 billion as of writing.

Among other cryptos, the Ethereum price added 0.96% over the past 24 hours to $1,592.10 during writing. However, despite the recent gains, its price was down over 2.6% over the past week, while its one-day volume decreased by 0.98% to $3.78 billion.

The Cardano price traded at $0.2463 on September 26, noting a surge of 0.86% from yesterday. Its market cap also noted a similar gain to $8.65 billion, and its one-day volume soared 40.3% to $117.34 million. Simultaneously, the Polkadot price surged 1.40% to $4.06 during writing, and its volume jumped 33.8% to $97.65 million.

However, the sentiment in the meme coins segment was mixed today. The Dogecoin price was up 0.27% to $0.06106 over the last 24 hours, and its volume was down 18.17% to $104.20 million. On the other hand, the Shiba Inu price slumped 0.78% to $0.000007312 during writing on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the gains in the Bitcoin price, as well as most of the major cryptos have led to gains in the broader market today. The global crypto market cap rose 0.70% to $1.05 trillion from yesterday, and its volume rose 9.09% to $22.79 billion.
