The past 24 hours saw the total cryptocurrency market cap hold its position above $1.3 trillion. However, it&#8217;s worth noting that Bitcoin&#8217;s dominance &#8211; the metric that tracks its share relative to that of the entire market &#8211; has declined during this period.
This suggests that altcoins are performing better than BTC, so let&#8217;s have a closer look at what happened.

As we <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/ethereum-eth-tapped-new-11-month-high-bitcoin-btc-slips-below-30k-market-watch/" data-wpel-link="internal">reported</a> yesterday, BTC&#8217;s price slipped below $30K and even tapped a local intraday low at around $29,300.
However, the bulls have managed to regroup and were successful in pushing the price back toward $30K.

That said, BTC is currently fighting for that pivotal level, and it&#8217;s interesting to see if it will manage to reclaim it. Futures markets saw a total of $35 million worth of liquidated BTC positions in the past 24 hours, and around half of that in ETH positions. Over 60% of that represented long orders, so it appears that bears took control over the derivatives market for the time being.
Meanwhile, BTC remains 0.6% down for the day and only around 0.2% up for the past week.

Altcoins have managed to slightly outperform BTC throughout the past 24 hours, pushing its dominance down by about 0.2%.
This comes on the back of certain coins performing a lot better than others. The larger projects include Litecoin (+3.2%) and Avalanche (+3.9%).

That said, the best-performing cryptocurrency (from the top 100 by market cap) is Radix (XRD). It&#8217;s up a whopping 28%, adding to the total weekly gains of around 113%. XRD shows no signs of slowing down.
On the other end of the spectrum, there&#8217;s Bitget Token (BGB), that&#8217;s down about 6.7%, and Rocket Pool (RPL) &#8211; down 5.2%.
The market sentiment remains somewhat positive, with values of 58 <a href="https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank">according</a> to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index. This is indicative of &#8220;greed.&#8221;
