Bitcoin’s weekend struggles seem to be nowhere near as the cryptocurrency initiated another leg up and reclaimed $35,000. Most of the altcoins have charted gains as well, with Ethereum jumping above $2,300 for the first time since mid-June.

Bitcoin Reconquers $35K

After the volatile week in which BTC reached a multi-day high of $36,600 and then retraced to below $33,000, all eyes were on the weekend as recent history showed that the asset tends to head south when the workweek is over.

However, the trend reversed this time as bitcoin actually started to reclaim some lost ground and jumped above $34,000. Since then, the bulls have kept control and prompted another leg up that brought the primary cryptocurrency to above $35,000 for the first time since Tuesday.

As of writing these lines, BTC is trading near $35,500, and its market capitalization has increased to well above $650 billion.

On the other hand, the dominance over the altcoins has remained above 45%.
