![](https://www.cityam.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Crypto-AM-Daily-graphic.jpeg?w=742)
Analysts say the bump in market optimism may be due to investor expectations of slightly lower Consumer Price Index numbers to be released tomorrow.
Bitcoin is trading up by 1% over 24 hours at $17,440 this morning. Ethereum is changing hands for $1,335, up a more modest 0.49%. This means that Bitcoin has risen by 3.38% over seven days, while Ethereum is in the positive by 6.59%.
Cryptocurrencies and equities seem to be trading closely again as the SP500 and the Dow Jones both opened in the green this morning.
