Alts in Green: AVAX New ATH

The alternative coins also suffered badly lately but are well in the green now. Ethereum briefly dipped below $4,000, but a 5.5% increase on a 24-hour scale has driven it back to almost $4,300.

Binance Coin dropped below $550 but is now above $580 after a 6.5% increase in a day. Solana has surged by 8.5% since yesterday and stands north of $210.

Shiba Inu and Avalanche have gained double-digit percentages. SHIB is up by 13% and has neared $0.00005, while AVAX surged by 16% and is close to $120. This means that AVAX has tapped a new all-time high.
