Crypto Market Last Week

The cryptocurrency market in the third week of October 2024 marked an impressive growth phase. Bitcoin showed strong upward momentum, rising from $62,600 at the beginning of the week to $69,000 by the weekend, equivalent to a 10% increase. The primary driving force came from investment inflows through ETFs, with a total of over $2 billion injected during the week.

While Bitcoin maintained a steady upward trend, most altcoins exhibited more cautious movements. Altcoins only started showing signs of recovery towards the weekend when Bitcoin’s momentum slightly slowed down. Notably, the memecoin segment continued to be the most positively performing group.
