Bitcoin Falls Short of $27K
Bitcoin made an attempt to surpass the $27,000 mark but fell short, currently sitting about $500 below it. While most altcoins remain relatively stable, TON stands out with a 10% surge, reaching well above $2.
BTC’s Recent Performance
On Monday, Bitcoin experienced a significant drop and reached a two-month low of just under $25,000. However, the situation quickly changed after a prominent financial institution submitted a Bitcoin ETF application. As a result, BTC recovered all its losses almost immediately.
Bitcoin continued to climb over the following days and recently reached its highest price in more than two weeks at $26,900. However, it failed to break through the $27,000 level and has since retraced to $26,500.
The cryptocurrency’s market capitalization remains around $520 billion, with dominance over altcoins slightly above 49%.
TON’s Impressive Performance
Toncoin has been one of the top performers in the past week due to positive engagement from messaging giant Telegram. In the last 24 hours alone, TON surged by 10%, reaching a new peak above $2. Its weekly gains amount to 20%.
Other notable gainers among larger-cap altcoins include Polkadot, Litecoin, VET, and MKR. VET saw the highest increase in this group with just over 5%.
While ETH, BNB, XRP, DOGE, MATIC, and SHIB have seen minor gains, ADA, SOL, and TRX are slightly down.
Crypto Market Overview
The overall crypto market cap has increased by a few billion and now stands at over $1.060 trillion on CMC.
