After a remarkable rally that took Bitcoin to its highest value in almost a month, surpassing US$67.500, the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization now appears to consolidate around US$66.800. This week saw a notable advance in the price of Bitcoin, with an increase of more than six thousand dollars, reflecting a resumption of investor interest and optimism.
Earlier in the week, Bitcoin faced a brief pullback, falling back to just over $60.000. However, this level proved to be strong psychological support, as indicated by the buying actions that intensified over the weekend and early into the subsequent week.
The renewed momentum culminated in a spike that took the price past $63.000 on Monday. Despite a slight pullback to $61.200 on Tuesday, the release of US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for April provided the necessary stimulus for a further jump, pushing Bitcoin to exceed $66.500 by first time since mid-April.
Although there was a brief pullback after the peak, Bitcoin’s resilience was evident as bulls pushed its price back up to nearly $67.700. Currently, Bitcoin operates at around US$66.700, with a sustained market capitalization of 1,32 trillion dollars and a 51,7% dominance over other cryptocurrencies.
In addition to Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies such as SOL and
LINK
, also showed notable performances. In particular, SOL registered a 17,5% increase in its value, trading at more than US$170, while LINK advanced 22%, reaching approximately US$16,5. Cryptocurrencies such as Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash and UNI also showed significant gains, reaching up to 14%. At the time of publication, the BONK meme cryptocurrency has stood out in the market, with an increase of more than 8% in the last 24 hours.
