Image
Bitcoin and altcoins feel the pressure of the week's regulatory bombshells, with BTC price action steadying below the key 200-week moving average. Bitcoin (BTC) challenged three -month lows into June 10 as altcoins in particular felt the heat from United States regulatory pressure. BTC/USD 1-hour candle chart on Bitstamp. Source: TradingView Altcoin bloodbath as exchanges reshape landscape Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD hitting $25,483 on the day, down over $1,200 from the previous day’s high. While showing weakness, Bitcoin was spared the fate of major altcoins, which reacted strongly to delisting that accompanied U.S. legal action against major exchanges. Trading app Robinhood announced that it would remove support for several cryptocurrencies named in the lawsuit against Binance and Coinbase by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Dogecoin soared 23,000% in 2021 — Is history starting to repeat for DOGE price?

Image
Dogecoin's 2021 and 2023 price rallies have largely been sparked by Elon Musk but the latter still has much more room to run if history repeats. The price of Dogecoin (DOGE) has almost doubled after bottoming out at $0.0491 in June 2022, alongside a similar recovery across the cryptocurrency market.

But, despite its impressive rebound, its price is still 88% below its all-time high of $0.76 set in May 2021.  Thus, the DOGE/USD pair remains far from establishing a decisive bullish reversal on longer timeframes.

Here’s why STX, CFX, SSV, AGIX and GRT are the top performing assets in February

Image
Despite Bitcoin’s muted monthly performance, STX, SSV, CFX, AGIX and GRT surged higher, likely because of popular market narratives. The month of February was filled with investors’ hope that an earlier-than-expected Federal Reserve policy pivot would occur, but this sentiment faded as the inflation and employment data came in hotter than expected. While the start of the month was bullish for the crypto market, Bitcoin (BTC) retraced 60% of the move from February’s low at around $21,500 to the peak of $25,250.  Nevertheless, some narrative-driven rallies still caused significant price growth in some altcoins. The leading narratives were Bitcoin NFTs, liquidity staking derivatives (LSDs) on Ethereum and Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects. Let’s review the top performing coins of the month. Stacks (STX) Stacks gained much attention as the hype over Ordinals kicked off at the start of the month. Gamma, a Stacks-based project, enabled the creation of Bitcoin Ordinals. However, full fu...
