Bitcoin's Market Share Increases, Fails to Regain $20,000 Value
Bitcoin's share of the cryptocurrency market increased by nearly 2% over the past week, even though the asset failed to regain its value of $20,000.
Bitcoin's latest attempt to take down $20,000 yesterday was unsuccessful, with the cryptocurrency dropping by almost $1,000. This is the second time this week that Bitcoin has failed to break past this key level, indicating that the market may not be ready for such a huge price increase just yet.
It's been a tough day for many altcoins, with most of the larger caps seeing red. There are some bright spots though, with some mid-cap altcoins seeing gains. Let's hope that the rest of the day is a little kinder to these digital assets!
Bitcoin price falls below $20,000 after failing to break through key resistance level
Looking at the past week, it's clear that Bitcoin is becoming increasingly stable compared to previous weeks. The US Federal Reserve's actions caused a dip in Bitcoin's value down to $18,100, but it has since recovered and is now back on the rise. This stability is likely to continue in the coming weeks, making Bitcoin a more attractive investment for those looking for long-term growth.
It looks like the asset is starting to stabilize around the $19,000 mark after a period of volatility. This is good news for investors, as it suggests that the market may be starting to calm down after a period of upheaval. Let's hope that this trend continues in the days and weeks to come.
It is clear that the cryptocurrency market is still very volatile, with prices moving up and down rapidly. While some investors are optimistic about the future of digital assets, others are more cautious. It remains to be seen how the market will develop in the coming weeks and months.
It is clear that bitcoin is struggling to break past the $20,000 mark. Despite multiple attempts, the digital currency has been unable to maintain a sustained price above this level. This could be due to a number of factors, such as investor hesitation or profit-taking. However, it is still early days for bitcoin and it is possible that the currency will make a breakthrough in the coming days or weeks.
BTC's dominance in the cryptocurrency market is growing, and it now controls nearly 40% of the total market value. This is up from 37% just a week ago, and is the highest level of dominance BTC has had in over a year.

Alts Less Volatile Than Bitcoin
The alternative coins are somewhat untypically calm now, having failed at marking impressive gains yesterday. This lack of activity stands in contrast to the past few weeks, during which alternative coins have been on a tear, posting gains of 30% or more.
Ethereum's post-Merge struggles continue, with the cryptocurrency unable to break above $1,350. This comes after a transition to PoS (Proof of Stake) which saw the price dump from $1,600 to $1,200. Recovery has been slow, but steady.
It's been an exciting few days for Ripple and XRP investors, as the digital asset has surged on the back of positive news regarding the SEC case. However, XRP has given up some of those gains today, falling 3% after reaching $0.5 yesterday. Despite this slight setback, it's clear that Ripple is still in a strong position, and many are bullish on the company's future prospects.
The slight dip in the prices of Binance Coin, Cardano, Solana, and Polkadot is not cause for alarm, as the market seems to be stabilizing after a period of volatility.
As the altcoin market continues to heat up, mid-cap coins like Uniswap and QNT are seeing some of the biggest gains.

It seems that bitcoin is once again falling short of the $20,000 mark, despite a strong weekend push.
