Crypto Weekly (02/12 – 08/12): Bitcoin at 100k, Altcoin Season is Underway

The Bitcoin milestone of 100k was officially established last week, creating a significant boost for the entire crypto market.

Bitcoin At 100k, Altcoin Season Is Underway

Crypto Market Weekly Overview

The cryptocurrency market had a remarkable week marked by a historic milestone for Bitcoin. The leading digital currency officially surpassed the $100,000 threshold, setting a new all-time high (ATH) of $104,100. However, this euphoria was short-lived as Bitcoin unexpectedly plummeted over $10,000, hitting a low of $90,500, leaving many investors with significant losses. Currently, Bitcoin has partially recovered and is trading around $99,700.

An interesting aspect of Bitcoin’s new peak, coupled with a decline in its market dominance index (DOM), is the favorable conditions it created for altcoins. Several altcoins posted impressive growth over the past week.
