SOL is up to $90, while ZEC has stolen the show.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"btc-touched-82k\">BTC Touched $82K<\/h2>\n<p>The primary cryptocurrency fell hard last week after it was rejected at $79,500, and the culmination took place on Wednesday following the third FOMC meeting for the year. Although the Fed\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-halted-at-80k-as-us-fed-and-ecb-hold-interest-rates-steady-your-weekly-crypto-recap\/\">decision to maintain the interest rates unchanged<\/a> was highly expected, BTC still dipped below $75,000.<\/p>\n<p>However, its subsequent rebound has been very impressive. The asset first neared $79,000 on Friday after Iran sent a peace proposal to the US and remained close to that level during the weekend, even though the US rejected it, and the second one, sent on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-pushes-above-80000-for-first-time-since-january\/\">rocketed<\/a> on Monday morning to over $80,000 for the first time since late January. It slipped in the following hours after some confusing reports, but <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ton-and-m-skyrocket-by-30-each-btc-price-tapped-81k-market-watch\/\">went back on the offensive<\/a> and quickly reclaimed that level. The bulls kept the pressure on, and the cryptocurrency briefly tapped $82,000 minutes ago to mark a new three-month peak.<\/p>\n<p>It remains close to that level now, with its market cap climbing to over $1.630 trillion and its dominance over the alts standing above 58.5% on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1436339\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1436339\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTCUSD-May-6.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1436339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD May 6.

Its daily surge of roughly 40% has reminded of that rally, as the asset now sits at $575. The only more notable gainer in the past day is SKYAI, which has soared by over 40% to $0.78.<\/p>\n<p>TON has continued with its massive streak, posting another 25% surge on a 24-hour scale. DASH, ICP, FIL, and NEAR complete the double-digit price pump club.<\/p>\n<p>A lot more modest gains are evident from XRP, BNB, ETH, and TRX, while SOL, DOGE, and ADA are up by almost 5% daily.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has added roughly $50 billion in a day and now sits at $2.8 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1436341\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1436341\" style=\"width: 1879px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-123211.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1436341 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/1e140d7b-809d-4a94-17a1-7937f3e40d00\/w=9999\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview May 6.
