DOGE, SOL, and TON Soar: Bitcoin Leads the Bullish Surge

Bitcoin has continued to lead the cryptocurrency sector in recovering beyond the $57,000 mark. At present, the market capitalization remains healthy at $2.12 trillion, an increase of 2.79%. It can be observed that Bitcoin’s market dominance has also improved from the last report to 53.39%, an increase of 0.78%.

Ethereum and Altcoins Bounce Back

The situation is slightly mitigated by a 2% gain in the price of Ethereum (ETH) and by a 6.30% price increase in Dogecoin (DOGE). The rest of the cryptocurrencies are not lagging behind in growth either, Solana (SOL) having gained 3.79% and Toncoin (TON) gaining 3.42%. Ripple’s XRP sees a gain of 2%, topping the list of gainers.

Market Sentiment: Cautious Optimism

The Fear and Greed Index has remained between levels this week indicating some level of fear and not outright flooding the index with greed. Things do not seem so gloomy based on activity on different exchanges as traders seemed to be cautiously optimistic.

Monero (XMR), known for its strong privacy protections, decreased by 3.71% to $166.19. Other declines included Gala (GALA) and Maker (MKR), which fell by 1.94% and 1.80%, trading at $0.01843 and $1,582.57, respectively.

The above movement depicts the nature of the crypto market which in most cases after massive profits is followed by heavy losses. This is the reason why most of the investors remain cautious.
