by

Oh dear, the cryptocurrency market has taken a little tumble, down by 1.56% in the last 24 hours on Sunday. The global market cap is now a mere $2.66 trillion, as if it’s on a diet, while major assets are playing a game of mixed performance. How thrilling! 🙄

Altcoins Go Rogue as Trading Volume Takes a Nap

This week in crypto markets, our dear bitcoin ( BTC) is still the reigning champion, trading at $83,781. It’s had a slight 1.35% daily decline, but hey, it’s still up 1.72% over the week. Its market share has risen to 62.5%, which is like saying, “Look at me, I’m still the favorite child!”

Ethereum ( ETH) is having a bit of a meltdown, down 9.91% to $1,579.03. It’s like that friend who always shows up late to the party, and now they’re 4.87% late to the last day’s festivities. Poor thing!

But wait! Solana ( SOL) is strutting its stuff, leading the top 15 gainers with a fabulous 11.72% rise to $128.02. It’s like the overachiever in class! And Avalanche (AVAX) is not far behind, jumping 15.64% this week, despite a tiny 1.29% dip. Talk about a rollercoaster ride! 🎢

Other stars of the show include chainlink (LINK), up 4.3% for the week, and XRP, which climbed 3.96% to $2.14. Meanwhile, cardano ( ADA) is having a rough time, slipping 3.56%, and dogecoin (DOGE) is down 2.41%. It’s like a sad puppy! 🐶

And then there’s BNB, the fifth-largest coin by market cap, which dropped 2.25% to $584.40. Market volume has also decreased by 0.49% to $74.41 billion, which is like saying the party is winding down. 🥳

As the market shuffles its cards, bitcoin’s strength and selective altcoin rallies suggest a sprinkle of cautious optimism amid the broader downside pressure heading into the third week of April. Fingers crossed! 🤞
