The cryptocurrency market has had an amazing start to the week, with the overall market capitalization pushing the heavily contested $300 billion level. Many attributed this stellar rise to Bitcoin starting to heavily outperform altcoins, with “digital gold” rising by a few percentage points.

Volume Sees A Resurgence, From $10 Billion To $20 Billion In Two Days
As the market moved into the weekend, volume began decreasing, emulating the volume level lows seen as Bitcoin reached the $5,750 price level. This worried some, with some thinking that Bitcoin’s unexpected and rapid move past the $6,800 and $7,000 resistance levels would soon be erased, as a result of Bitcoin losing value due to low volumes.

However, over the past two to three days, volume has seen an unexpected resurgence in the market, with daily volumes quickly moving from $10 billion on Sunday to $20 billion today.

Altcoins Try To Fight Back Against Rising Bitcoin Dominance

As aforementioned, Bitcoin has seen a stellar week, easily outperforming a majority of the cryptocurrencies in the top 10. As of the time of press, Bitcoin dominance is currently at 47%, or the highest it has been since Bitcoin pushed all-time highs in mid-December 2017.

Peter Smith, the CEO of Blockchain, recently appeared on a Bloomberg interview, stating that he expects for Bitcoin to outperform the market over the next months, due to institutional clients having an affinity for the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

However, altcoins aren’t giving up the fight yet, with many altcoins starting to stage a comeback in terms of satoshi value, with cryptos like Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and EOS all up by over 4% or more.

As pointed out by Brian Kelly on CNBC “Fast Money,” speculation regarding the ETF has resulted in interest from new and established investors in this industry. Kelly stated:

         “I think the chances of an ETF in 2018 
           are relatively low. There’s still quite a 
            few things, but that doesn’t stop 
         speculation on that. And that’s one 
           reason why we’ve seen this bottoming 
             process here from $5,800 all the way 
          up here.”

Additionally, the aforementioned CEO of Blockchain pointed out that institutional involvement in this market is starting to pick up, resulting in higher prices. He noted:

            “I think right now you are seeing a 
        pretty slow retail market and historically 
       the market has been led by retail. You are 
          seeing a pretty big uptick in the 
       institutional market and that’s a lot of the 
        reason why Bitcoin is outperforming.”

Currently, Bitcoin dominance is going up but altcoin will come back, mostly because they are cheaper and more accessible to purchase. Research and figure out the better ones and purchase them. Once they go up in value, sell them in satoshi, hold them as bitcoin and continue the cycle again.
