Estimated read time 2 min read

Major Cryptocurrency Gains

On December 29, the cryptocurrency realm is shining brighter than a freshly polished Bitcoin, as all top 20 cryptocurrencies are enjoying some heartwarming gains. Leading the pack is Bitcoin (BTC), which has joyfully bounced back above the $3,900 mark, trading at approximately $3,926, a delightful increase of over six percent on the day.

Bitcoin’s Week in Review

Despite the recent uptick, Bitcoin still finds itself playing catch-up to earlier highs, notably Monday’s value of $4,265. Midweek presented a drop to $3,642, but now it’s strutting its stuff closer to its week’s starting point of $3,963. Talk about a rollercoaster!

Ripple and Ethereum Join the Party

Next up in the crypto lineup, we have Ripple (XRP), making headlines with a delightful 8 percent rise, trading around $0.376. Not too shabby, right? But they might be feeling a bit sad when reflecting on their Monday high of $0.446!

Then there’s Ethereum (ETH), jumping up nearly 15 percent and trading at about $137 after opening the day a humble $119. While ETH’s journey has seen it surpass last Saturday’s $112, Monday’s height of $157 remains a distant memory.

Other Notable Performers

A quick glance at the broader landscape shows EOS climbing 14 percent, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) gaining 10 percent, Binance Coin (BNB) following suit with an 11 percent increase, and NEO rounding up with another impressive 10 percent. If only my stocks showed that kind of enthusiasm!

The Market’s Pulse

Overall, the cryptocurrency scene has a market cap exceeding $131 billion, illuminating a rise from the week’s start of $129 billion. However, this celebratory mood is dampened slightly by the significant dip from a mid-week high of $146 billion.

Words of Caution

In the wisdom of the wise, Anthony Pompliano, founder of Morgan Creek Digital Assets, has suggested that even with the recent gains, Bitcoin may yet have a few bumps left in its journey. Meanwhile, Wall Street bigwigs are reconsidering their entry into the crypto space due to the recent price turbulence—because who wants to jump on a sinking ship?
