Despite bitcoin maintaining its value above $66,000 on Friday, it is important to note that the leading cryptocurrency is still down 9% from its all-time high (ATH). This highlights the resilience of BTC in comparison to other cryptocurrencies, many of which are still far from reaching their previous peaks.
In the current bull market, BTC continues to outperform many alternative crypto assets, with a market cap of over $1.28 trillion, representing more than half of the total crypto market value of $2.35 trillion. While BTC reached its ATH of $73,794 per unit on March 14, 2024, it is currently trading at $65,368 per coin, indicating a 9% decline from its peak two months ago.
On the other hand, Ethereum (ETH) is 36.6% below its ATH of $4,878 per coin, BNB is 13.4% below its peak, Solana (SOL) is down 34.4%, XRP has experienced an 81.4% drop, Toncoin (TON) is 11.7% lower, dogecoin (DOGE) is down by 77%, and cardano (ADA) is down 84.8% from their respective ATHs.
As BTC maintains its dominance in the crypto market, the question arises about whether it will reclaim its previous glory or if alternative assets will surpass it in the current bull run. The Altcoin Season Index indicates that BTC has consistently held its top position, with the potential for an ‘altcoin season’ still uncertain. The crypto market continues to evolve, presenting new opportunities and challenges for digital currencies.
