Top cryptocurrencies to watch this week: BTC, SHIB, ORDI
Last week, a predominantly bullish trend occurred among the sector’s top cryptocurrencies, primarily attributed to a rise in the price of Bitcoin (BTC).
Altcoins such as Shiba Inu (SHIB) and ORDI (ORDI) experienced substantial gains, riding on Bitcoin’s momentum.
The upsurge observed in the market culminated in a 4.3% increase in the global crypto market capitalization, which rose to $2.66 trillion on March 31 as the market saw an influx of $11 billion in capital.
Here’s an analysis of some of those performances.
Bitcoin reclaims $70,000
The previous week saw one of Bitcoin’s worst weekly performances. The premier crypto’s $73,794 all-time high gave way to bearish pressure, which saw Bitcoin break below the $70,000 territory — nearly relinquishing the $60,000 zone.
A recovery push rekindled investor optimism, allowing BTC to reclaim $70,000.
A significant portion of the week’s upward trajectory occurred on March 25, when BTC soared to $71,213. Bitcoin concluded the day with a 4% increase, marking its largest intraday gain for the week.
This rebound also coincided with a positive shift in momentum for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. These financial instruments ended five days of outflows when they recorded $15.7 million in net inflows on March 25.
The ETF market observed significant capital injections on March 26, with inflows reaching $418 million, the highest since March 13.
Bitcoin largely remained in a consolidation phase, encountering strong resistance at $71,754. However, the asset upheld the support at $68,362. Throughout this period, Bitcoin experienced fluctuating trends, yet it successfully retained the gains achieved earlier in the week.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin is valued at $70,409, reflecting a weekly gain of 4.76%. While trading above $70,000, its daily relative strength index (RSI) remains below overbought levels at 58.62, implying a potential for continued growth.
