Bitcoin experienced a rollercoaster week, beginning with a strong surge above $64,000 on Monday after a quiet weekend. However, this period of stability was short-lived as the cryptocurrency’s value plummeted to $58,500, its lowest point in almost two months. This significant drop posed a challenge for Bitcoin, especially after a string of positive results.
Nevertheless, Bitcoin bulls remained undeterred and swiftly responded to reverse some of the losses. The digital currency’s price once again surpassed the $60,000 mark, driven by a buying frenzy that briefly pushed it above $62,000 on Wednesday. As of the time of writing, the price of BTC stood at $61,730.6, with a 0.7% increase in the last 24 hours.
Meanwhile, several altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin, with many major altcoins attempting to initiate a rally. ETH, for instance, seems to be aiming for a bullish breakout above $3,500, while XRP is on track to surpass the $0.50 resistance zone. ADA, on the other hand, remains stagnant near the $0.40 level.
One notable altcoin that saw a surge in value is Solana (SOL), which rose following the news of VanEck’s request to create the first Solana ETF in the United States. SOL’s value reached $150, marking a 7% increase in just one day.
Today’s highlight was the cryptocurrency Akash Network (AKT), which saw an almost 20% increase. Other cryptocurrencies like AVAX, DOT, BONK, and BCH also appreciated by over 5%.
