DerivaDAO, TLOS and Bonfida rallied by 30% as traders view Bitcoin move above $38,000 as a signal to go long on BTC and select altcoins.

The cryptocurrency market is in a state of confusion on Jan. 31 as many traders view Bitcoin’s (BTC) weakness as a sign that a crypto winter is beginning, yet increasing news of adoption and multi-million-dollar financing rounds continue to make headlines on a regular basis. 

As Bitcoin trades at $38,500, analysts are highlighting the current price action as a possible buy zone and this bullish sentiment is spilling into altcoins also.
