It was a rather interesting and unexpected week for the cryptocurrency markets, especially since the setbacks suffered just ten days ago.<\/p>\n
Recall the market update from last Friday, in which we reported<\/a> that BTC had somehow crossed the $80,000 barrier despite the failure of the CLARITY Act in the US Senate and the Fed\u2019s subsequent interest rate hike. The cryptocurrency slipped to $75,000 after both of those developments, but rebounded swiftly and reclaimed the key $80,000 level by Friday afternoon. It hasn\u2019t been below that level since.<\/p>\n Although it was initially stopped at $82,000 during the previous weekend after more bad macro news, this time on the two major war fronts, BTC started the current business week with one of its most impressive rallies this year. It defended the $80,000 support and the bulls drove it higher by $7,000 in less than 24 hours. As such, the cryptocurrency topped<\/a> $87,000 for the first time since late January on the heels of massive ETF inflows.<\/p>\n It pulled back to $85,000 almost immediately, but the bulls initiated another leg up<\/a> to $87,300. However, the rejection scenario repeated, and BTC has been unable to recapture its momentum since then. Moreover, it dipped<\/a> below $83,000 on Thursday before it found support and bounced off to $85,000 earlier today.<\/p>\n The bears were more persistent once again, stopping its progress there and pushing it south to $83,500 as of press time. This means that the largest cryptocurrency is still 5% up weekly, but its performance has dwindled compared to most alts. The graph below will show the clear winners, led by BTW\u2019s massive 73% weekly surge. ENA (52%), NEAR (45%), ONDO (40%), SUI (39%), BCH (32%), and AVAX (29%) follow suit.<\/p>\n Among the largest alts, XRP, LINK, and ADA stand out as the top performers, with gains of 17%-18%. Naturally, this has driven the BTC dominance metric south hard, losing roughly 2% in a week.<\/p>\n <\/a>Cryptocurrency Market Overview Weekly September 25.
