What is the latest situation in the market?
Unlike the previous weekend, we saw impressive gains from BTC and most altcoins this week. Bitcoin skyrocketed just below $25,000. Also, with the hype surrounding Merge, ETH rose above $2,000 to a multi-month high. Merge, an event that marks Ethereum’s transition from PoW to PoS, is probably the most anticipated event of the year in the cryptocurrency space.
The primary cryptocurrency, on the other hand, was overshadowed by the performance by many altcoins, including ETH, due to the aforementioned Merge excitement. However, its price against the dollar has also seen notable gains over the past few days. Just two days ago, BTC jumped to a two-month high of $24,900. However, it later slumped below $23,500 yesterday, dropping above $1,500. However, the predominantly positive market sentiment pushed Bitcoin upwards again. Therefore, the asset was pretty close to touching $25,000 a few hours ago.
