Stellar (XLM) Explodes by 30% in 2 Days, Bitcoin (BTC) Stable at $86K (Weekend Watch)

After a highly volatile and painful trading week, bitcoin’s price continues with its gradual recovery, as it now sits above $86,000. Many altcoins have produced impressive gains over the past few days, and XLM stands in a league of its own with a surge past $0.3. BTC Calms at $86K A lot can and has been said about the events that transpired in the cryptocurrency market in the past week. Recall that BTC stood close to $100,000 on February 21, which was rejected and pushed down to $96,000 the previous weekend. However, the actual pain started on Tuesday morning with a drop to $86,000. After a minor recovery to $89,000, the cryptocurrency dumped once again to $82,000. The scenario repeated once again on Thursday, with a bounce-off to $86,000, and on Friday morning, with a massive price crash to $78,000. This became bitcoin’s lowest price tag in over three months. While many, including Arthur Hayes, predicted an even more painful performance during the weekend, BTC’s price actually reacted well to the latest massacre and now sits about eight grand higher. Its market capitalization has managed to defend the $1.7 trillion level, while its dominance over the alts stands tall at 58% on CG. BTCUSD.
