BTC on the Rise
A lot can change in the cryptocurrency market within a week, and this is what happened to BTC in the past seven days. Last weekend, the asset had recovered from the most recent declines and stood at around $43,000.
The next several days were highly uneventful, and Bitcoin remained at that level aside from a few brief and minor pumps and dumps. However, the landscape finally started to change Wednesday evening and especially Thursday morning when BTC broke above its tight trading range and jumped to $45,000.
Friday provided even more gains as Bitcoin first exploded above $46,000 and then soared past $47,000 and even briefly $48,000. In fact, the cryptocurrency charted a new monthly high of $48,200 late last night.
Since then, the asset has lost about a grand but still trades 2% up on the day. Its market capitalization has soared to $930 billion, and its dominance over the altcoins stands tall at 52%.
AVAX Steals the Spotlight
Most altcoins charted impressive gains over the past several days as well, and the landscape is quite positive on a daily scale now. Ethereum has added another 2% of value in the past 24 hours and now trades inches above $2,500. Solana has tapped $110 after a 3.5% daily jump.
Binance Coin, Ripple, Tron, Dogecoin, Polkadot, Chainlink, and Polygon are also with minor gains of around 1%.
Avalanche has soared the most from the larger-cap alts. AVAX is up by almost 9% and now trades close to $40. Further gains from the mid-cap alts come from the likes of IMX (13%), KAS (7%), and TAO (9%).
The total crypto market cap has added another $30 billion overnight and now sits close to $1.8 trillion on CMC.
