After several days of heading north, bitcoin has finally calmed and lost some steam, with a price drop to around $34,000.
Most altcoins have declined even more. In the case of some, such as MATIC, DOT, AVAX, and UNI, the price drops are up to 6% in a day.
BTC Unstable at $34K
According to a recent article by CryptoPotato, Bitcoin’s price has been volatile this week. It surged to a 17-month peak at $35,200 following speculations about the approval of BlackRock’s spot BTC ETF application and hype around the product’s ticker. However, the retracement was short-lived as Bitcoin started gaining value once more and challenged the $35,000 line on Wednesday. Unfortunately, it was quickly rejected and has lost about a grand since then. Currently, BTC trades at around $34,000, with a market capitalization of $665 billion and a dominance over altcoins at just over 53%.
FLOKI Skyrockets
In other news, meme coins have taken the spotlight recently. Coins like DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE saw massive double-digit gains. However, FLOKI, another meme coin, has surpassed them all with a 30% surge. As a result, FLOKI has reentered the top 100 alts by market cap with a price tag of almost $0.00004. Meanwhile, larger-cap altcoins such as Ethereum, Polygon, Polkadot, Avalanche, Uniswap, HBAR, LDO, and APT have all seen losses ranging from 4% to 7%. Even well-known altcoins like BNB, XRP, SOL, ADA, TRX, TON, LINK, and LTC are also in the red. The total crypto market cap has decreased by $20-30 billion daily and is now at $1,250 trillion.
