How to read today's Bitcoin price

The price above is a live average across major exchanges. The 24-hour change shows how far Bitcoin has moved since the same time yesterday, and the high and low show the day's range.

Big daily moves usually have a cause you can find in the news: a surge in ETF inflows, a jump in bond yields or oil prices, or a wave of liquidations when leveraged traders are forced out. CandyPulse covers those moves every day.

Frequently asked questions

What moves the Bitcoin price?

Supply and demand on exchanges, flows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, interest rates and bond yields, the strength of the US dollar, oil and geopolitical news, and leverage in futures markets, which can force sudden buying or selling.

What is the maximum supply of Bitcoin?

Bitcoin has a hard cap of 21 million coins. New coins are released to miners at a rate that halves roughly every four years.

Why is the price different on different sites?

Each exchange has its own buyers and sellers, so prices differ slightly. Price trackers usually show a volume-weighted average across many exchanges.
