Bitcoin\u2019s gradual price ascent continued in the past several hours as the asset slowly climbed to a 10-day peak of over $118,000.<\/p>\n

A few altcoins have doubled down on their recent gains, including LINK, which has rocketed by almost 7% to trade above $22.<\/p>\n

BTC Sees August Peak<\/h2>\n

The current month didn\u2019t start all that well for the primary cryptocurrency as it dipped to a multi-week low of $112,000 just three days in. This came amid ongoing political tension between some of the Great Powers, which included the movement of nuclear submarines.<\/p>\n

However, the asset reacted well to that dip and started to recover<\/a> almost immediately. Within just a few days, by last Friday, bitcoin was already knocking on the $117,000 door. Although it experienced some resistance there, the bulls were persistent and managed to break through on Saturday.<\/p>\n

They kept the pressure on in the past several hours as well, helping BTC breach the $118,000 line. As such, bitcoin marked a ten-day high at around $118,500 earlier today. Despite losing some ground since then, it\u2019s still around 1% up on the day.<\/p>\n

Its market capitalization has increased to $2.355 trillion on CG, while its dominance<\/a> over the alts has risen to 58.4% after the drop to 58% yesterday.<\/p>\n

LINK Pumps<\/h2>\n

Many altcoins posted massive gains yesterday, including ETH, which skyrocketed to its highest price levels since late 2021 at over $4,200. Most have lost some traction today, which is somewhat expected, but ETH has managed to defend that level.<\/p>\n

LINK has emerged as today\u2019s top performer from the larger-cap alts, gaining roughly 7% and pumping past $22.<\/p>\n

In contrast, XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, ADA, BCH, HBAR, XLM, and SUI are slightly in the red following the recent rallies.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has maintained above $4 trillion, which is $200 billion above the low reached on Thursday.<\/p>\n
