Similar to the previous weekend, bitcoin\u2019s price has stagnated again on Saturday and Sunday, with little to no action over the past 36 hours or so.<\/p>\n

Most larger-cap altcoins have remained sluggish as well, unlike small gains from HYPE and TRX. XMR, on the other hand, continues its freefall after the mid-week all-time high.<\/p>\n

BTC Stable Despite Political Turmoil<\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, the previous weekend was quite dull, with BTC trading sideways around $90,500. However, it broke out on Monday and confirmed it on Tuesday when it flew past $92,000 with force. Its price gains continued on Wednesday when it tapped a multi-month peak of $98,000.<\/p>\n

After gaining around $8,000 in less than a week, bitcoin lost some of its momentum and slipped below $94,500 on Thursday. It rebounded on Friday and has remained<\/a> above $95,000 ever since. What\u2019s particularly interesting about this price stagnation is the fact that the geopolitical tension has skyrocketed since Friday.<\/p>\n

First, several EU nations sent troops to Greenland after Trump\u2019s most recent remarks. Then POTUS announced<\/a> a new set of 10% tariffs on all those eight EU nations. The Union lawmakers responded<\/a> with an emergency meeting today, and threats about pulling out of the ongoing trade deal.<\/p>\n

BTC has remained unfazed and still stands at around $95,000. Its market cap is $1.9 trillion as of press time, and its dominance over the alts is at 57.3%.<\/p>\n

Weekly Gainers and Losers<\/h2>\n

TRX has emerged as the top gainer from the larger-cap alts since yesterday, surging by 3% to almost $0.32. HYPE and XLM follow suit, while XMR has tumbled by 10% once again to well below $600. CC, PUMP, and ZEC are also in the red daily.<\/p>\n

The weekly scale is quite favorable for ETH. The second-largest crypto has soared by 7% and sits above $3,300. BNB, SOL, LINK, TRX, and even XMR, are also in the green since this time last Sunday. In contrast, XRP, DOGE, BCH, and LTC are deep in the red.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, ICP has soared the most since last Sunday (25%), while POL has lost the most value within the same timeframe (-18%).<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has slipped slightly over the past day, but it\u2019s still above $3.3 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
