Bitcoin has experienced a week of volatility, causing significant fluctuations in cryptocurrency prices. However, it seems to have found a balance point, hovering between the range of $68,000 and $69,000. On the other hand, Ethereum has resumed its upward trend, fueled by the approval of spot ETFs based on ETH in the United States. This has propelled Ethereum past the $3,900 level.
Bitcoin, often regarded as a market leader, was greatly influenced by positive rumors surrounding the potential approval of spot Ethereum ETFs by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). After a remarkable surge of $5,000 on Monday, the cryptocurrency reached nearly $72,000, its highest point in several weeks.
However, this optimism was short-lived as Bitcoin retraced in the following days, experiencing a sudden drop to $66,250 just moments before the SEC confirmed the approval of eight of these financial products. The intervention of buyers was crucial in stabilizing the price, which managed to recover to $69,500 on Saturday. Nevertheless, it lacked the strength to surpass the $70,000 mark. Currently, Bitcoin continues to trade around $68,500, down 1%, with a market capitalization of $1.35 trillion.
Meanwhile, Ethereum not only continued its ascent but also solidified its position above $3,900 with a 3.5% increase. Its outstanding performance showcases its resilience in a market where other large-cap cryptocurrencies are moving at a slower pace.
In the realm of meme coins, PEPE continues to impress, recording a further 13% increase since yesterday and reaching a new all-time high of slightly over $0.000017. Other cryptocurrencies like FLOKI and BONK have also demonstrated noteworthy performances with similar valuations.
