Bitcoin (BTC) Stable at $105K, Avalanche (AVAX) Gains 6% Daily (Weekend Watch)

Bitcoin’s price movements over the weekend have been quite underwhelming, but the asset has remained stable at around $105,000.

The altcoins are with minor gains on a daily scale but the weekend charts show a different picture for many of them.

BTC Holds Steady at $105K

The largest cryptocurrency went through a spectacular ride at the beginning of the business week. It began with a nosedive on Monday morning from $106,000 to under $100,000 before it exploded to a new all-time high of over $109,000. More volatility ensued before, during, and after Donald Trump’s inauguration speech as he failed to mention crypto.

Following a price slump to $101,000, the bulls stepped up and didn’t allow a price slump into five-digit territory. In fact, BTC started to recover some ground and spiked to $107,000 a few days later. It failed there and was pushed south by three grand on Saturday morning but has recovered from that decline and now sits about a grand higher with little to no movement over the past 12 hours.

Its market capitalization has climbed to $2.080 trillion on CoinGecko, while its dominance over the alts stands tall at 55.4%.

AVAX on the Rise

The largest altcoins have recovered some of the losses charted yesterday. Ethereum has bounced above $3,300 after a 1.3% daily increase, while XRP is above $3.1 following a similar increase. BNB, DOGE, and ADA stand in the same bracket.

Solana and Chainlink have gained around 3% each and now trade at $255 and $25, respectively. Avalanche has emerged as the top performer from the larger-cap alts, surging by 6% to $37.5.

The biggest gainers from the top 100 alts are XCN (91%), OM (30%), TAO (13%), and TRUMP (10%).

The total crypto market cap has recovered over $60 billion overnight and is up to $3.750 trillion on CG.
