As of May 1, 2026, Bitcoin (BTC) is priced at US$78,414.67, an increase of 2.7% in the last 24 hours. Ether (ETH) follows at US$2,305.88, rising by 2% over the same period. XRP is at US$1.39, up 1.7%, and Solana (SOL) is trading at US$83.86, reflecting a 1% gain.
Market analysts indicate that Bitcoin’s current support zone around US$75,500 serves as a crucial threshold, as a decline could lead to a corrective range between US$65,000 and US$70,000. Rising open interest alongside the price uptrend suggests new futures leverage is driving market momentum.
