Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, experienced a dip below $29,000, reaching a monthly low. However, it quickly rebounded and is now trading above that level. Altcoins also faced price declines in recent days, but some, like DOGE and XRP, have managed to chart minor gains.
BTC maintained its position around $30,000 for most of last week, with a brief attempt to break out above $30,300 on Sunday. Unfortunately, this breakout turned out to be a false signal, and Bitcoin started losing ground, dropping to just under $29,000. This marked the lowest price in over a month. Since then, BTC has recovered slightly and is currently trading a few hundred dollars above $29,000. Despite the recovery, its market capitalization remains below $570 billion, and its dominance over other cryptocurrencies is at 48.4%.
On the other hand, Dogecoin (DOGE) has seen a surge in price, reaching a 3-month high. It experienced a 5% increase in the past 24 hours, reaching $0.085. This surge was fueled by the recent engagement between Elon Musk and Twitter, as Dogecoin is known as the first-ever meme coin. Ripple’s native token, XRP, is the second-best performer among larger-cap altcoins, with a 2.5% increase and a price of $0.7.
While most altcoins have experienced declines, there are some other cryptocurrencies showing modest gains. Ethereum, Binance Coin, Solana, Tron, Litecoin, Polkadot, TONCOIN, and Shiba Inu are all in the green, although to a lesser extent. On the other hand, Polygon, Filecoin, LDO, XLM, and NEAR have retraced slightly, with declines of up to 3.5%.
Overall, the total crypto market cap remains relatively stagnant at just under $1.180 trillion. Despite the recent price movements, the market continues to show resilience and potential for further growth.
