Lido DAO (LDO) Rises 17% Over the Week, Bitcoin (BTC) Holds Steady at $27K (Weekend Update)

34

Bitcoin has remained stagnant over the weekend due to lower trading volumes, yet it continues to hold above $27,000.

The altcoins have also shown minimal activity on a daily basis, although several – including LDO, INJ, and QNT – have achieved significant weekly gains.

BTC Steady at $27K

Just under a week ago, on Monday, the leading cryptocurrency experienced a substantial increase that led it to reach a three-week peak of $28,500. This surge followed an initial agreement made by the US government concerning the country’s debt ceiling.

Nevertheless, the asset was unable to maintain its upward trajectory and fell back to $28,000 by Tuesday. A notable $1,000 decline occurred on Wednesday, which was mirrored by a similar drop the following day. Ultimately, hit a weekly low on Friday morning, dropping below $26,600.

The bulls intervened and assisted bitcoin in recovering some of its losses by the weekend. The last two days have been relatively uneventful, as the cryptocurrency remains just above $27,000 amid the typically low trading volumes of the weekend.

LDO, INJ, QNT Achieve Weekly Gains

The larger-cap altcoins have mirrored BTC’s behavior over the weekend, showing little to no volatility. Despite a slight daily decline, remains at exactly $1,900 after fluctuating around that level throughout the week.

Binance Coin, Ripple, Dogecoin, Polygon, Litecoin, Shiba Inu, and Avalanche have all increased by less than 1% in the past 24 hours. ADA, SOL, and DOT have risen by approximately 1-2%.

Yesterday’s leading performer – TRON – has seen a significant drop today of nearly 5%. However, examining the charts on a weekly basis reveals a different scenario for several altcoins. Lido , Injective, and Quant have all surged by over 15% in the last seven days.

Overall, the cryptocurrency market capitalization has remained relatively stagnant over the past two days, currently hovering around $1.150 trillion.
