XRP Jumps 4% Following Another Ripple Win Against SEC, BTC Stalls Above $27K (Market Watch)
Bitcoin’s price has hit a plateau, remaining stagnant around the $27,500 mark. This lack of movement is also reflected in most altcoins, except for Ripple’s native token, which experienced a surge following a recent court victory against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
At the end of September, Bitcoin experienced a significant pump, reaching $27,000. With positive expectations for October, many anticipated further gains. The start of the month did not disappoint, as BTC skyrocketed by over $1,500 on October 1 and 2, reaching a six-week peak of around $28,600. However, the bullish momentum was short-lived, and the asset rapidly lost value.
Since then, Bitcoin has struggled to regain momentum and has been fluctuating between $27,500 and $28,600 with little movement in either direction. The market capitalization of Bitcoin remains at around $535 billion, and its dominance over other altcoins stands at 49.4%.
While Bitcoin remains relatively stagnant, the majority of altcoins have experienced minor losses. Ethereum and Binance Coin, for example, have decreased by just over 1% to $1,644 and $212, respectively. Other cryptocurrencies, such as Dogecoin, Toncoin, Polkadot, Solana, Cardano, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash, have also experienced losses ranging from 1% to 5%.
On the other hand, Ripple’s native token saw a 4% increase in value following a recent court victory against the SEC. Similarly, Avalanche (AVAX) also experienced a significant pump of 4% and is nearing the $10 mark.
Overall, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization has seen a decline, dropping to $1.080 trillion on CoinMarketCap. These fluctuations highlight the volatility and unpredictability of the cryptocurrency market, making it essential for investors to conduct their own research before making any investment decisions.
