Bitcoin faced a tumultuous week with significant price swings causing uncertainty among investors. Despite experiencing sharp price drops to $49,800, Bitcoin swiftly recovered throughout the week, stabilizing around $60,000 and even reaching as high as $62,300, showcasing its resilience compared to altcoins.
Bitcoin Strengthens Market Position
According to Santiment, last week’s crypto market volatility was the highest since the FTX collapse two years ago, causing a crash in many altcoins’ values. While altcoins struggled to recover, Bitcoin’s strong performance not only helped it recoup losses but also boosted its market dominance, establishing its lead in the cryptocurrency space.
Following a surge in bullish momentum, Bitcoin rapidly bounced back above the $60,000 mark within days after dropping below $50,000, indicating its robustness amid market fluctuations.
Currently trading at $61,300 with a market cap of $1.2 trillion, Bitcoin commands 56.2% of the total crypto market value, the highest level since the 2021 bull market peak, as per CoinMarketCap data.
Altcoin Update
Altcoins are gradually recovering from the previous week’s losses, with XRP notably leading the gains in response to positive developments in the Ripple-SEC lawsuit, pushing its price to $0.6372 before a slight correction to $0.5923 but still maintaining a 7.78% weekly gain.
Additionally, Toncoin surged by over 13% following its listing on Binance, with its current price at $6.62 and a notable 10.9% gain over the past week, emphasizing potential growth in the altcoin market.
