Solana and Dogecoin continue to rise in value as Bitcoin sees gains and Ethereum lags behind.
Bitcoin saw a positive shift in morning trading, with Ethereum lagging behind as Solana and Dogecoin spearheaded the major rise in alternative cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin’s price rose by 1.8% in the previous 24 hours, although it is still about 10% below its recent peak of over $124,000, having recovered from the slump it experienced until Tuesday. Public sentiment about Bitcoin on Stocktwits remained ‘neutral’ in the past day. Conversely, Ethereum’s price fell by 0.2% over the same period. Despite being the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value, Ethereum’s retail sentiment on Stocktwits stayed ‘bullish,’ even though a Stocktwits poll reflected retail traders’ doubts about Ethereum surpassing Bitcoin in the next five years. Ethereum’s market capitalization is currently at $554 billion, far beneath Bitcoin’s market capitalization of $2.2 trillion.
On the alternative cryptocurrency front, Solana and Dogecoin demonstrated significant gains. Solana surged by more than 4% in the last 24 hours, while Dogecoin’s price rose by over 1.5%. Retail sentiment for Solana was bullish, with considerable chatter around the crypto, while Dogecoin’s sentiment stayed bearish over the past day. Ripple’s XRP declined, whereas Cardano’s ADA price saw an increase of 0.5%. Bitcoin-associated stocks showed growth during pre-market trading, with MSTR, Riot Platforms, and Mara Holdings all experiencing positive gains. Similarly, stocks of companies holding Ethereum, like Bitmine Immersion Technologies and FG Nexus, saw gains despite Ethereum’s price fluctuations.
The crypto market experienced a minor uptick, with just $265 million in liquidations reported over the last 24 hours, with slightly more in long liquidations compared to short ones. The largest liquidations were in Ethereum and Bitcoin. Within the overall cryptocurrency market, there was a 1.4% increase, and Bitcoin’s dominance remained at 56.3%. This shift in the market landscape signals evolving trends among various cryptocurrencies, possibly indicating changing investor sentiments and preferences.
