The cryptocurrency market continues into the weekend on a calmer note following what was surely a rather volatile week of trading.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s price is attempting to stabilize near an important short-term resistance area, while some altcoins are outperforming sharply, led by Worldcoin\u2019s double-digit daily surge.<\/p>\n

BTC Pushes Toward $74,000<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin has remained relatively calm during the weekend trading session after a volatile few days. The cryptocurrency is still fighting to press above an important short-term resistance level.<\/p>\n

BTC\u2019s price trades slightly below $74K at the time of this writing, gaining roughly 0.5% over the past 24 hours. It\u2019s evident that buyers are trying to recover some ground following the market-wide pullback that took place last week.<\/p>\n

The most recent price action comes as the broader cryptocurrency market stabilizes, with total capitalization hovering around $2.58 trillion, according to CoinGecko. Bitcoin\u2019s dominance remains above 57%. However, the momentum remains fragile, as traders continue to watch macro headlines, with Trump saying they are under no deadline to strike a deal with Iran, meaning uncertainty is likely to continue for the time being.<\/p>\n

Worldcoin (WLD) Leads Altcoin Gainers<\/h2>\n

The altcoin market saw mixed results over the past 24 hours, although several large-cap names posted strong daily moves.<\/p>\n

Worldcoin (WLD), the Sam Altman-linked project, stole the show after increasing by about 11% to jump around $0.33. Other top gainers from the top 100 cryptocurrencies by total market cap include Venice Token (VVV), Humanity (H), and Midnight, all of which post notable advances.<\/p>\n

BNB and TOn also sttod out among the larger-cap assets with gains of more than 7%.<\/p>\n

On the flipside, Monero\u2019s XMR was the weakest top-100 performer, dropping by roughly 8%, while most other major altcoins saw more modest moves.<\/p>\n
