Bitcoin experienced some enhanced volatility yesterday when it was rejected at $97,500 and pushed south hard by three grand in hours before it settled at just over $95,000.<\/p>\n

In contrast, numerous altcoins have outperformed, charting mindblowing surges, such as ADA, AVAX, TRX, LINK, HBAR, and many others.<\/p>\n

BTC Stalls at $95K<\/h2>\n

It was just a week ago when the primary cryptocurrency slumped hard and fell below $91,000, which became its most violent correction since the Trump-induced rally started in early November. However, the asset didn\u2019t stay there for long and started to recover ground in the following days.<\/p>\n

The weekly peak came on Friday as BTC neared $99,000. Nevertheless, the bears managed to defend that level and pushed bitcoin down to approximately $96,500 during the weekend. Monday morning started with a surge to $98,000 but that was short-lived as BTC plunged<\/a> to $95,000 almost immediately.<\/p>\n

Another rollercoaster<\/a> followed suit with bitcoin jumping to $97,500 before it was driven south once again to $94,500. Despite its recovery attempts since then, BTC now trades just inches above $95,000.<\/p>\n

This decline means that BTC\u2019s market cap has remained below $1.9 trillion, but its dominance over the alts has been pushed south hard. The metric is down to just 52% after peaking at nearly 60% weeks ago, according to CoinGecko.<\/p>\n

These Alts Do Good<\/h2>\n

The past few days belonged to XRP and yesterday was no exception as the asset skyrocketed by another 25% at one point and neared<\/a> $3 for the first time in almost seven years. Although it has retraced since then to $2.6, its market cap of $150 billion still places it as the third-largest cryptocurrency by that metric.<\/p>\n

Other massive gainers over the past 24 hours include ADA, which has soared by 17%, AVAX (11%), TRX (14%), DOT (16%), LINK<\/a> (27%), SUI (15%), HBAR (42%), and quite a few others.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has gained $70 billion since yesterday as it has all gone to the alts. The metric is above $3.6 trillion once again.<\/p>\n
