This week, we saw altcoins taking for the skies as Bitcoin was rangebound. This led to a plummeting BTC dominance that hit a 2-year low.
Bitcoin was trading slightly below $60K this time last week, and everyone had their hopes up that it would reconquer this coveted level. Unfortunately, last Saturday, the price started showing signs of weakness, and it declined all the way to $57K on Sunday.
From there, Bitcoin started trading flat and made another unsuccessful attempt at $60K on Monday. Bulls didn’t have it in them, though, and as the week went by, the price remained indecisive. This led to a serious drop on Wednesday, which saw BTC going down to almost $55K and leaving billions worth of liquidations across the board.
Nevertheless, the bulls regrouped and started pushing the price back up to bring it to where it currently trades at around $58K. All of this indecisiveness, however, saw its dominance decrease to 55%, leaving altcoins a lot of room to breathe.
And breathe, they did. Ethereum, as well as Binance Coin, charted fresh all-time highs, while Ripple’s XRP finally came out of its shell and spiked above $1 to paint a new three-year high. This happened despite the ongoing SEC clash.
