BTC Back Above $34K
Bitcoin is at the end of one of its most favorable and positive trading weeks in a long time. It all began on Monday when BTC finally reclaimed decisively the $30,000 level. By the end of the day and on Tuesday morning, the landscape got even better with a massive price surge that drove the cryptocurrecy to its highest price tag in roughly a year and a half at $35,200.
This came amid ongoing speculations about the potential approval of BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF application and a mystery with the ticker. It also drove the Fear and Greed index into a deep ‘greed’ territory.
BTC started retracing slightly after that multi-month peak but went back on the offensive on Thursday when it tapped $35,000 once more. Nevertheless, it failed to conquer it and the subsequent rejection pushed it south to under $33,500 yesterday.
The asset managed to bounce off rather quickly and currently trades just over $34,000. Its market capitalization has slipped to $665 billion, and its dominance over the alts has taken a slight hit being down to 52.9%.
LINK, APT on the Rise
Toncoin and Dogecoin have declined the most from the larger-cap alts on a daily timeframe – by 2-3%. As a result TON is close to breaking below $2, while DOGE is just under $0.07.
In contrast, ETH, BNB, TRX, MATIC, DOT, and LTC are with minor gains. Cardano has jumped by 3.6% and sits close to $0.3, while LINK has soared by over 5% and trades above $11.
More gains come from the likes of APT (6%), NEAR (5.5%), ICP (3.5%), and VET (2.5%).
Overall, though, the total market cap has remained relatively still at around $1,250 trillion.
