Bitcoin is on the move again, heading north. The largest cryptocurrency is recording impressive gains over the last 24 hours, and it even touched $8,000 before retracing to the current level of $7,900.
Just yesterday, BTC was trading around $7,300, and, in a few positive candles, surged with almost 10%. However, as Cryptopotato reported, the $8,000 mark served as a significant resistance line, which also contains the 100-days moving average, and BTC couldn’t break it, yet.

The recent price increase is spreading among most of the altcoins as well. This reduced Bitcoin’s market dominance slightly, and it now stands at 68.1%. Ethereum has been mostly in the green since the start of this year and is at $145 now.
Ripple, being listed on Binance Futures, is the biggest gainer within the top 10. Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, EOS, and Monero record similar gains of around 2.5%, while TRON and Cardano are up by 5% and 6%, respectively. The recent move up brought the total market cap to be over $211 billion.
