As with most previous weekends, this one is also quite sluggish for bitcoin, which continues to fight for $80,000 without making any major moves.<\/p>\n

The same cannot be said for some altcoins, though. ZEC, for example, has skyrocketed by 17% daily, while ARB has stolen the show with a massive 42% surge.<\/p>\n

BTC Fights for $80K<\/h2>\n

The primary cryptocurrency closed August (on Monday) in the green for the first time in a bear market, surging by over 25% for the month. This came even after its early Monday retracement from $79,000 to $77,000 as the US and Iran resumed the strikes against each other.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin rebounded to $79,000 rather quickly, but it was rejected on Tuesday and driven south to under $76,500 by Wednesday. That\u2019s when the bulls returned in full force, initiating a major leg up that drove the asset to $82,400. This became BTC\u2019s highest price tag since mid-May.<\/p>\n

However, the strong US jobs report from Friday led to a major decline, as bitcoin slipped<\/a> by three grand as the odds for the Fed to hike the rates skyrocketed<\/a>. Nevertheless, BTC managed to rebound from the drop to $78,600 and jumped to around $80,000, where it spent most of the weekend, even though the amount of bearish news that should push it south<\/a> has risen significantly in the past week.<\/p>\n

Its market capitalization is back at $1.6 trillion on CMC, while its dominance over the alts has declined slightly to 59.1%.<\/p>\n

ZEC, ARB on a Roll<\/h2>\n

Ethereum has neared $2,500 again after a 1.75% increase daily. BNB, which touched<\/a> $770 yesterday, is below $760 now, while XRP has defended the $1.40 support. SOL is well above $100 once again, and similar gains are evident from the likes of HYPE, DOGE, RAIN, XMR, LINK, and ADA.<\/p>\n

Uniswap\u2019s UNI has jumped to $7 after a 10% increase, while ZEC is close to $1,200 for the first time in almost a decade following a major 17% jump. Arbitrum\u2019s native token has stolen the show, surging by 42% to over $0.19.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap remains at just over $2.7 trillion on CMC after a 0.8% increase since yesterday.<\/p>\n
