Bitcoin finally taps $50K for the first time in history while the total Market Capitalization skyrockets above $1.5 Trillion due to Polkadot’s big win against Cardano

Tuesday morning was different for the whole Cryptocurrency field, as Bitcoin managed to touch gently the milestone $50,000 price tag, but the happiness didn’t last for too long as the primary cryptocurrency plunged at $48,500 where it currently trades.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency was struggling around $45K — $48K for the last 5 days without showing any intentions to go further north. Nevertheless, things changed on Sunday morning when Bitcoin topped at $49,700, remaining only $300 away from its milestone but again without any success for the $50K as it immediately plunged below $47,000.

However, less than 24 hours were needed for the King of Cryptos to start recovering its losses and finally lead the price at $50,000 where it remained for a while before it change its directions back to south.
