THE crypto rally isn’t letting up. Bitcoin hit a record daily high of $89,800 yesterday, marking a remarkable 10% leap over 24 hours.

Not to be outdone, Dogecoin surged by 40% overnight, doubling its price in just seven days. Major coins across the market have likewise posted impressive gains, with the total crypto market cap crossing the $3 trillion mark.

The rally has sent the Fear and Greed Index firmly into 'Extreme Greed' territory, leading some analysts to caution that a pullback could be on the horizon after this week’s surge of euphoria.

Key highlights of the rally include Dogecoin flipping XRP to claim the seventh-largest market cap and Bitcoin trading volumes jumping more than 70% overnight, earning the crypto rally a headline spot on Bloomberg’s front page.

Where this rally goes from here is anyone's guess, but it's safe to say that crypto has certainly captured the attention.
