The cryptocurrency market has experienced a remarkable surge in the past week, with Bitcoin (BTC) and several large-cap altcoins showing strong performance. Despite volatile fluctuations, Bitcoin demonstrated its resilience by staying above the $69,000 mark.
Bitcoin struggled to maintain its position above $66,000 the previous Sunday, but eventually recovered after experiencing price fluctuations. Positive expectations surrounding the approval of Ethereum ETFs in the United States contributed to Bitcoin’s rise, nearly reaching $72,000 for the first time in six weeks. Although it faced some pullbacks and dropped to $66,400, it managed to recover and closed the week near $69,000.
Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) experienced significant gains, surging from $3,100 to over $3,900, its highest value since April. Despite ongoing volatility, the second largest cryptocurrency concluded the week at around $3,820, representing a 22% increase.
Other cryptocurrencies like DOGE, LINK, APT, UNI, and PEPE also performed exceptionally well. UNI, in particular, saw a 44% price jump, while PEPE achieved multiple record highs throughout the week.
On the other hand, SOL, TRX, TON, and ADA faced setbacks and ended the week with negative returns. Nevertheless, the total value of the cryptocurrency market surpassed $2.7 trillion, with an increase of over $200 billion in just one week.
During the weekend, the market remained relatively calm, and Bitcoin managed to maintain its position at $69,000. Its dominance in the cryptocurrency market reached 50.3%.
