BTC Bounces Back to $30K
Bitcoin experienced a dip to $29,500 before rebounding and reaching $30,000 today. While most altcoins saw minimal gains, ADA, XRP, BCH, and XLM performed well with increases ranging from 2% to 8%.
Shaky Landscape for Bitcoin
After reaching a 13-month high of $31,800 following Ripple’s court win against the SEC, bitcoin’s momentum began to waver. It retraced by nearly $2,000 to $30,000 and struggled to maintain its position throughout the week.
18-Day Low at $29,500
Bitcoin hit a low of $29,500 on Bitstamp, but the bulls managed to push it back up to the $30,000 mark. The asset’s market capitalization has also taken a slight hit, now standing just above $580 billion, with a dominance over alternative coins at 48.4%.
Hot Take
Bitcoin’s recent volatility highlights the uncertainty in the market. While some altcoins have shown promising gains, bitcoin’s inability to maintain its momentum raises questions about its future performance. However, with the bulls stepping in to defend the $30,000 level, it remains to be seen if bitcoin can regain its upward trajectory.
