Bitcoin Remains Sideways as Altcoins Gain Momentum
In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has shown no significant movement, while several altcoins have experienced notable gains. Ethereum (ETH) is nearing $2,000, and Polkadot (DOT) has surged by almost 5%. Here are the key points:
- Bitcoin experienced a surge two weeks ago, reaching over $31,000 after BlackRock announced plans for a Spot BTC ETF.
- After the initial climb, Bitcoin’s price stabilized and traded between $30,000 and $31,000.
- Last Friday, Bitcoin’s price dropped to a 10-day low of $29,500 due to SEC warnings against recent Spot BTC filings.
- However, the bulls stepped in and prevented further declines, causing Bitcoin to spike back up to $30,500.
- Over the weekend, Bitcoin remained relatively stagnant around the $30,500 level.
As of now, Bitcoin’s market cap remains below $600 billion, and its dominance over altcoins has decreased to 49.2%. This represents a 1% decline in just a few days.
