Over the weekend, while the price of bitcoin and several larger-cap alts remained slow, others like SOL, AVAX, and DOT continued to surge.
BTC Stalls at $37K
In the cryptocurrency market, a lot can change within a week. On Tuesday, the primary digital asset fell to $34,500 after failing to overcome the $35,000 level despite a few attempts.
However, the bulls took charge and drove BTC north hard. Two days later, the asset shot up to $38,000 for the first time in a year and a half. It was violently rejected there and dumped by over two grand within hours.
Nevertheless, it bounced off and spiked to $37,500 yesterday. It has been unable to maintain its run since then, but it still trades above $37,000 as of now.
This means that its market capitalization is still above $725 billion, but its dominance over the alts has taken one more hit and is down to 51% on CMC.
SOL, AVAX on a Roll
Solana’s native cryptocurrency has been among the top performers lately. The past 24 hours have only solidified this, as the asset has soared by another 10%. On a weekly scale, SOL is up by more than 40% and trades close to a multi-month peak of its own at $60.
AVAX’s price performance on a daily scale is in a league of its own, though. Avalanche has soared by 30% and currently trades above $18.
Chainlink, Polkadot, Aptos, Near, and RUNE have all registered impressive gains. In the case of RUNE, the daily surge is by 25%.
The total crypto market cap has added around $20 billion daily and stands well above $1.4 trillion on CMC.
