Altcoins rack up 30% gains as Bitcoin price chases after $39,000

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.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the biggest gainers over the past 24-hours were DerivaDAO (DDX), Telos (TLOS) and Bonfida (FIDA).
