Bitcoin’s price movements over the weekend have returned to a much calmer state, and the asset has remained relatively stable at just over $61,000.
The altcoins are mostly in the green, with BNB and DOGE emerging as the top performers from the larger caps.

Last weekend went under the rule of the bears as they pushed the primary cryptocurrency from $66,000 on Friday to $57,000 by Sunday evening. The landscape worsened on Monday, and the price <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/over-500-billion-gone-from-crypto-markets-since-friday-here-are-the-biggest-losers-market-watch/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">plunged</a> massively to $49,500, which became BTC’s lowest position in about half a year.
However, the asset started to recover some ground in the following days. This culminated on Friday morning with a surge to almost $63,000, meaning that bitcoin had reclaimed more than $13,000 in value in less than a week.
Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency failed to maintain its run and retraced by a few grand. Since then, the market has been choppy, but BTC has managed to remain above $61,000 in the past 24 hours.
Its market capitalization has risen above $1.2 trillion, while its dominance over the alts has declined slightly after the <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/bitcoin-dominance-skyrockets-to-3-year-high-as-btc-maintains-60k-weekend-watch/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recent multi-year milestone</a> and is just under 54% now.

<h2 id="doge-shoots-up">DOGE Shoots Up</h2>
Most altcoins have charted some gains in the past 24 hours, led by the largest meme coin. DOGE has shot up by 5% and has tapped $0.11 for the first time in days. Binance Coin is the other impressive gainer from the larger-cap alts, having surged by just over 4%. As a result, BNB sits above $530 now.
ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, SHIB, and BCH are also slightly in the green, while TON is the other larger-cap alts in the red.
Aptos and FET are the two top performers from the mid-cap cohort, with gains of 7% and 9%, respectively.
The total crypto market cap has added about $20 billion overnight and is at $2.245 trillion on CG now.
