Wednesday

Bitcoin’s price tumbled below $63,000 yesterday, but the bulls seem back in control as they have pushed the asset toward $64,000 once again.
Most larger-cap altcoins are sluggish on a daily scale, aside from ADA, which has jumped by over 4%, and DOT, which has added just under 4%.

After the slow start to the previous week, when it dropped to $57,600, bitcoin experienced a true rollercoaster by the end of the five-day trading period that ended on Friday, especially during and after the Wednesday FOMC meeting, in which the US Fed announced a 0.5% reduction in the key interest rates.
BTC recorded several substantial price moves before it headed north decisively. In just a few days, it <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/bitcoin-pumps-to-64k-fed-cuts-rates-saylor-buys-more-btc-this-weeks-recap/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">peaked</a> above $64,000 before it lost some ground during the weekend and remained around $63,000.
The bulls went at it again on <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/4-things-that-can-impact-crypto-market-prices-this-week/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Monday morning</a> and drove the asset to its highest price level in over four weeks of $64,800. However, it failed to conquer that level and the subsequent rejection <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/bittensor-tao-skyrockets-80-weekly-bitcoin-btc-stopped-ahead-of-65k-market-watch/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pushed</a> it south to under $63,000 yesterday.
Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency has gained around a grand since then and is now close to $64,000. Its market cap has neared $1.260 trillion on CG but its dominance over the alts is just shy of 54%.

<h2 id="near-sees-double-digit-gains">NEAR Sees Double-Digit Gains</h2>
Binance Coin, Solana, and Cardano have emerged as the top performers from the larger-cap alts today. BNB has reclaimed the $600 level after a 2.6% daily increase, SOL is close to $150 after gaining 3%, while ADA has soared by 5% and stands at $0.36.
Although the rest of the larger caps are also in the green, their gains are a lot more modest. NEAR Protocol’s native token has jumped by 8% on a daily scale and 20% since Sunday and now trades above $5.2.
Other impressive gainers from the top 100 alts include AR (16%), TIA (15%), WIF (11%), LDO (9%), ICP (9%), and STX (9%).
The total crypto market cap has added another $20 billion overnight and is at $2.340 trillion on CG.
