Crypto Market Last Week

The last week of May witnessed a marked sideways movement in Bitcoin, with its price fluctuating around $66,700 – $70,700. Throughout the week, the market lacked significant news events, making Bitcoin’s sideways movement and waiting for new information quite logical. Thanks to this stability in Bitcoin, many altcoins have started to rise sharply again, capitalizing on Bitcoin’s consolidation period.

Notably, among the altcoins, Notcoin (NOT) has stood out with an impressive growth, increasing sixfold from its recent bottom. This growth in Notcoin indicates the growing interest of investors in altcoins, especially when Bitcoin remains stable without much volatility.

The strong recovery of Notcoin not only reflects market optimism but also demonstrates the potential for attracting investment into promising altcoin projects in the continuously evolving cryptocurrency market. This could also open new opportunities for investors seeking profits during Bitcoin’s sideways phase, as the market awaits significant news.
