Bitcoin\u2019s spectacular end to the business week, in which the asset gained over ten grand and skyrocketed to a new all-time high, has finally reached an exhaustion point as the asset has calmed at $118,000.<\/p>\n

Several altcoins have followed suit, while XRP, CRO, and especially XLM have charted mindblowing gains.<\/p>\n

BTC\u2019s Rally<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s been a while since we have said this, but a lot can change in the cryptocurrency markets in the span of a few days. Recall that itcoin\u2019s price stood within a tight range between $105,000 and $110,000 for a few weeks, and each breakout attempt in both directions was stopped in its tracks.<\/p>\n

However, that all came to an end on Wednesday evening when the asset finally broke out<\/a> of the upper boundary and shot up to a new all-time high of $112,000. After a brief retracement, the cryptocurrency began an even more impressive rally that resulted in tapping $116,000<\/a> on Thursday evening, but BTC went all the way up to almost $119,000<\/a> on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Although it has lost some traction since then and now trades just under $118,000, bitcoin has gained over 9% on a weekly scale. Its market capitalization has grown to $2.345 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts has declined slightly to 62.5%.<\/p>\n

XLM Steals the Show<\/h2>\n

Most altcoins posted mindblowing gains over the past few days as well, but have calmed since yesterday. Ethereum, for instance, went from $2,500 to over $3,000 to market a five-month peak before it corrected slightly to just under the latter.<\/p>\n

In contrast, XRP<\/a> was a little sluggish at first but took the spotlight yesterday by surging to almost $3. Although it has dropped below $2.8 now, it\u2019s still 7% up on the day, and it overtook USDT in terms of market cap.<\/p>\n

CRO has charted a similar price surge over the past day, taking it to well over $0.1. However, the day belongs to XLM, which has exploded by more than 22% and now trades above $0.37.<\/p>\n

Pi Network\u2019s native token, on the other hand, has plunged by over 6% and struggles to remain above $0.47.<\/p>\n

The cumulative market cap of all crypto assets gained over $300 billion since Wednesday and stands at $3.750 trillion on CG now.<\/p>\n
