Bitcoin extended its gains this Tuesday and began targeting the region of US$ 66 thousand, driven by the market's positive reaction to the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for June. At the time of publication, the largest cryptocurrency on the market was trading at US$ 65.430, up US$ 1.659,15 (2,54%) over the last 24 hours.
The recovery comes after days of strong volatility caused by macroeconomic factors and geopolitical tensions. After falling to the US$ 61.600 range, Bitcoin gradually regained ground, returned to the US$ 64 thousand region over the weekend and, after the release of the CPI below expectations, gained enough strength to break above US$ 65 thousand.

The move reinforced investors' optimism, who are now watching the cryptocurrency's attempt to reach the psychological level of US$ 66 thousand. At the same time, Bitcoin's market capitalization once again approached US$ 1,3 trillion, while its dominance over the cryptocurrency market remained above 56%.
Among the altcoins, the main highlight was Pi Network. After renewing historical lows close to US$ 0,07, the token found support in that range and started a consistent recovery. PI has accumulated a daily gain of approximately 16%, trading above US$ 0,085.
Other cryptocurrencies also posted positive performance. PUMP advanced about 14%, while ZEC led among the assets with the largest market value, with gains close to 9%. CC also posted a strong rise, while LINK and HYPE recorded gains around 5%.
Ethereum followed the positive sentiment and traded above US$ 1.870 again. Meanwhile, BNB, XRP, SOL and RAIN ended the day with more modest gains, following the recovery seen across virtually the entire market.
With the appreciation of the main cryptocurrencies, the total market capitalization increased by more than US$ 60 billion in just one day, reaching approximately US$ 2,28 trillion, while investors monitor whether Bitcoin will be able to consolidate the upward move toward US$ 66 thousand.
