Market Cap Back At $1T After Bitcoin Lost 14% Weekly (Market Watch)

The cryptocurrency market is going through a rough patch, with the last few days seeing billions wiped off its total capitalization. Bitcoin has pulled below $21K once again.

All in all, the market cap is closing in on $1 trillion once again, and it’s interesting to see if the coveted level will hold.

Over the past day, Bitcoin’s dominance – the metric that’s most commonly used to gauge the cryptocurrency’s share relative to that of the entire market – increased by almost 0.5%. This means that over this period, BTC performed better than altcoins.

However, the entire market is looking particularly shaky at the moment. With this week’s uncertain opening, the total losses for Bitcoin over the past week amount to about 14%.

Altcoins Underperform, ETH Approaching $1.5K

As seen in the table above, Ethereum is down 3.5% in the past 24 hours, while SOL, DOT, AVAX, LINK, UNI, and others, are down almost 5%.

The cryptocurrency that lost the most in the past day is Celsius Network’s CEL token – down 21%, followed by STEPN’s GMT and ETC, which are down about 6.5%.

On the other hand, EOS seems to be the best performer, up 4.8% on the day and about 13.4% on the week.
