Bitcoin’s price tapped a 6-day peak earlier today when it jumped past $92,500 briefly before it slipped back down to $92,000.
Most larger-cap altcoins have marked minor gains over the past day, with ETH reclaiming $3,100 and BNB tapping $910. XMR has stolen the show once again, surging to yet another all-time high.
The primary cryptocurrency began the previous business week with a strong rally that built on the weekend gains. At the time, BTC had already reclaimed the $90,000 level and surged to a multi-week high of almost $95,000 on Tuesday morning. However, the bears finally stepped up at this point and bitcoin found itself dumping below $89,500 by Thursday.
After losing over five grand in the span of just 48 hours, BTC rebounded and spent the weekend trading sideways around $90,500 after it was rejected at $92,000 on Friday.
On Monday, bitcoin went on the offensive once again. It challenged $92,000 on a couple of occasions on Monday and Tuesday, but it was stopped both times. The asset is at it again now as it tapped $92,500 earlier today. It now trades at $92,000 as its market capitalization has climbed to $1.840 trillion.
Its dominance over the altcoins is also on the rise, surging to 57.1% on CoinGecko after dipping to 56.6% a few days ago.
The past few days have belonged to Monero (XMR), which has now become the largest privacy token after surpassing ZEC. XMR has skyrocketed by 17% daily and by 50% weekly. It charted yet another all-time high earlier today at $686.
MYX and IP have surged by double digits as well, followed by NEAR, AAVE, CC, and ICP. In contrast, BCH and LTC are slightly in the red.
The larger-cap alts are a lot less volatile, with minor gains from ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL, DOGE, and TRX.
The total crypto market cap has added $40 billion daily and is up to $3.220 trillion on CG.
