    Bitcoin Taps $11K As Altcoins See A Nightmare Week: The Crypto Weekly Market Update

    Author: George Georgiev

    Last Updated Sep 18, 2020 @ 17:46

    This week was nothing short of exciting. Bitcoin started trading at around $10,300 but was on a positive note throughout the entire time. It increased gradually, without any sharp and somewhat surprising movements, and managed to add about 6.5% to its value.

    The cryptocurrency tapped the important psychological and technical resistance at $11,000 but failed to conclusively close above it. Still, Bitcoin regained a serious portion of the total market capitalization as its dominance increased by 2% at one during the week.

    This is mostly because most altcoins have been struggling substantially these past seven days. While the top 5 are scoring slight increases in the range between 2% and 5%, a lot of other altcoins are bleeding out heavily.

    Chainlink is down about 17%, TRON’s TRX decreased by more than 15%, SNX dropped by more than 20%, and so forth.

    More impressively, the popular food-based meme coins are also bleeding heavily. SUSHI is down 30% in a week, KIMCHI crashed 75%, CREAM is down 75%, and the list goes on.

    Elsewhere, the entire industry was taken by a storm yesterday when the largest decentralized exchange, Uniswap, announced its own governance token called UNI. Not only that, but it airdropped a tremendous amount to everyone who used the platform prior to September 1st.

    Today, however, the token’s price has taken for the skies as it’s currently trading at above $7, which marks an increase upwards of 130% in less than 24 hours.
