Bitcoin’s price failed to overcome the $62,000 level yesterday but has remained above $61,000 despite a brief hiatus to under $60,000.
Several altcoins have produced notable increases daily, with AVAX leading the trend. The asset has soared to $26.
BTC Still Above $61K
The primary cryptocurrency fell hard at the end of the previous business week to just over $56,000. However, its descent was quickly halted by the bulls as they initiated a rapid recovery that pushed BTC to around $59,500 by the time the weekend had arrived.
After a quiet Saturday and Sunday, bitcoin retraced once again on Monday and slipped to $58,000. The bulls produced another run toward $61,000 on Tuesday before the asset fell back down to $59,000 on Wednesday.
Thursday saw one more leg up that resulted in BTC nearing $62,000 for the first time in a week. However, it failed to conquer that level and the subsequent rejection pushed it south to $60,000.
Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency has managed to recover most of the losses and now sits above $61,000 again. Its market capitalization has increased to almost $1.210 trillion, while its dominance over the alts has taken a beating and is down to 53.3%.
