It was another eventful week in the cryptocurrency markets, as two of the leaders managed to break into uncharted territory before staging a minor pullback.<\/p>\n
But first, let’s rewind the clocks to the previous week, which marked the beginning of October, often referred<\/a> to as Uptober in the digital asset community. BTC had already recovered some of the mid-September losses, but only doubled down and surged to $120,000 for the first time since August. On Friday alone, it went from $120,000 to $124,000 but failed to break its all-time high.<\/p>\n That happened over the weekend, which is somewhat surprising given the overall calmer behavior during those days. On Sunday morning, the cryptocurrency went on a run and shot to almost $126,000 to chart a fresh peak.<\/p>\n After an immediate rejection, the bulls went on the offensive once again on Monday and propelled BTC to a new record, this time of over $126,000. What followed was another retracement, this time more painful and lasting. Bitcoin dropped by over five grand in a few hours and slipped below $121,000.<\/p>\n It tried to bounce off in the following days but was stopped at $124,000 and pushed south to under $120,000 on Thursday. As of press time, it has reclaimed that round-numbered level and is up to $121,000. It’s worth noting that more volatility is expected in the following days due to the uncertainty prompted by the US government shutdown.<\/p>\n For now, though, the lack of any positive developments on that front has benefited certain cryptocurrencies. BTC was not the only one to post a new record, as BNB did the same at well over $1,300 before it slipped to $1,250. Still, it managed to surpass XRP. ZEC is the other massive gainer weekly, having surged by 60%. It marked a four-year peak earlier today at $280 before it stalled at $240.<\/p>\n Market Cap: $4.215T | 24H Vol: $181B | BTC Dominance: 57.1%<\/p>\n BTC: $121,200 (+0.8%) | ETH: $4,325 (-3%) | XRP: $2.81 (-7%)<\/p>\n Altseason Calls Intensify as Crypto Market Cap Hits Record $4.4T<\/strong>.
