    Bitcoin Back Above $50k, Altcoins Surging Double-Digits: The Weekly Crypto Recap

    Author: George Georgiev

    Last Updated Sep 9, 2021 @ 08:44

    Bitcoin is once again above $50,000 while a lot of the altcoins are charting massive gains throughout the past seven days.

    This week saw Bitcoin’s price surging past $50,000 on a few occasions, while altcoins have been charting double-digit gains all along.

    Let’s start with BTC. The primary cryptocurrency is up about 7% over the past seven days, and it’s currently sitting above the coveted $50K mark. However, it took it a few attempts to go there, and we need to see today’s daily candle close above it for further validation of the bullish continuation.

    Towards last weekend, Bitcoin attempted to test $50K, but fell short, and it started declining from there. It even dipped below $47K on Wednesday – September 1st. Ever since, though, the cryptocurrency has been performing tremendously well, and it shows – we’re back above $50K!

    And while BTC’s gains may seem impressive, it’s the altcoins who stole the show. Solana is up by another 84%, and it topped $140. Polkadot’s DOT is up 34.6%, surging past $30.

    From the top 5, Ethereum is up by an amazing 27%, and it is testing the important $4K level at the time of this writing. Cardano is also performing very well, breaking above $3 for the first time as smart contracts went live on its Alonzo testnet.

    All in all, it was a great week for everyone in the industry, based on the increasing valuations alone. We even saw an apparent clone of Dogecoin, called Dogecoin 2.0, receive a motion to stop using this name sent by the Dogecoin foundation itself. Despite that, the cryptocurrency is up by more than 500% since then. As we know – anything can happen in the wild crypto market.

    It’s interesting to see, however, if the positive trajectory can remain intact. For this to happen, Bitcoin needs to establish solid support at $50K before pushing further. If one thing is for sure, though, it’s that it will be an exciting week ahead!
