Weekend in Crypto: Dogecoin (DOGE) Gains 5% as Bitcoin Eyes $45K

Most assets in the cryptocurrency market traded with a slight surge today, CRO and Dogecoin, leading with impressive gains.

Bitcoin remained calm beneath the $45K mark as the weekend approached. Most alternative tokens posted similar actions, noting minor daily surges. Meanwhile, Cronos (CRO) and Dogecoin (DOGE) registered the most substantial gains.

Bitcoin Targets $45K Again

Bitcoin exhibited a different landscape last Sunday. The leading crypto suffered gradual value declines and almost broke beneath $40K to hit weekly lows. Nevertheless, a lot might change in the cryptocurrency marketplace within seven days.

Bitcoin escaped the downward journey beneath $40k and climbed towards its 3-week peaks at $43K. The dominant crypto recorded a slight retracement before going offensive again, reclaiming the $44K mark.

As reports from CryptoPotato suggested, Friday’s actions saw Bitcoin slightly capturing $45K. Remember, Bitcoin has not explored this value area since the early sessions of March.

The digital currency stalled beneath that zone yesterday and today, below $45K. Such actions mean Bitcoin is nearly 8% weekly high, while its market cap hovers around $850 billion.

CRO and DOGE Lead Gainers

Most alternative tokens also stayed calm over the past day. This week’s trading sessions saw Ethereum reclaiming the $3K mark and appeared dedicated to uptrends. The 2nd-largest crypto stays briefly in green following yesterday’s minor correction.

Ethereum changed hands near $3,147.72 at this publication, exhibiting an upside stance. Moreover, Ethereum remained approximately 8% up over the previous seven days.

Binance Coin closes in $420 following a nearly 1% overnight surge. Cardano, Polkadot, Terra, Ripple, Shiba Inu, and Avalanche climbed by similar percentages.

DOGE and CRO present the most substantial increases within the large-cap alts, gaining 5% each. As a result, CRO surged beyond $0.45, whereas DOGE hovers at $0.14.

Nevertheless, Zilliqa stole the show, ZIL gaining more than 60% towards the $0.1 mark (CoinGecko data). Further upswings came from ApeCoin (9%), VeChain (14%), and Convex Finance (20%).

Meanwhile, the global cryptocurrency market capitalization remains slightly beyond $2 trillion. While publishing this blog, the crypto market hovered with a 0.69% overnight gain at $2.02 trillion.
