Bitcoin’s price resurgence that started at the beginning of the year continued in the past 24 hours as the asset tapped a multi-week peak of just under $92,000.
Many larger-cap altcoins have posted even more impressive gains daily, including ETH, which has reclaimed the $3,100 resistance, and XRP, which is close to $2.10.
After closing 2025 as the first post-halving year in the red, bitcoin began 2026 on the right foot and quickly surged from $88,000 to almost $91,000 on Friday. It faced an immediate rejection there on Saturday morning when reports about explosions in Venezuela’s capital went live and slipped to $89,300.
Interestingly, BTC started to regain traction once the US confirmed it carried out a successful military mission in Venezuela and captured its president. Hours later, after Trump addressed the nation, bitcoin climbed even further and neared $92,000 earlier this morning for the first time since mid-December.
It was stopped there, but still trades above $91,000, which represents a 4.2% weekly increase. For now, its market capitalization has surged to $1.825 trillion. Its dominance over the altcoins has declined in the past week, though, from 57.7% to 56.9% on CoinGecko.
Most altcoins have posted notable gains over the past 24 hours again. Ethereum has decisively reclaimed the $3,100 level, with a 1.4% daily increase. Ripple’s XRP has neared $2.10 after a 3.5% surge. BNB is close to $890, TRX is at almost $0.30, while SOL, ADA, and BCH have marked even more impressive gains.
Dogecoin has jumped by 7% to well over $0.15. Other meme coins have joined the craze, with PEPE and SHIB up by double-digits. BONK has re-entered the top 100 alts after a massive 30% surge.
Trump-linked tokens are also in the green daily, including WLFI. The total crypto market cap has risen above $3.2 trillion after another $60 billion increase daily.
