Bitcoin cannot yet exceed $ 17,000, Ethereum Classic pumps by 5 % (Market Watch)

Bitcoin tried to win $ 17,000, but was stopped.

Solana has taken a breather after the recent growth, while Ethereum Classic and Near Protocol rose daily by over 5 %.

Bitcoin stopped at $ 17,000

After the quiet end of 2022, Bitcoin was calm at around $ 16,500 at the beginning of the new year. The entire market volume was declining, which was to be expected on Sunday.

The landscape began to change on Monday when BTC started to create added value. It initially rose to $ 16,700, which was a local high, and later continued towards $ 16,800 during the day.

The bulls stepped onto the accelerator pedal in the next few days and finally pressed the primary cryptocurrency to just under $ 17,000 hours ago. This has been Bitcoins's highest price since December 20th.

Nevertheless, the asset was not able to overcome $ 17,000 at least for the time being and is a few hundred dollars below this level. Its market capitalization is still well over $ 320 billion, but its dominance compared to the Alts is 39.6 %.

In the past few days there have been some remarkable pricing in the old coins listed by Solana. After a few consecutive weeks, Sol struck a new page with price declines and several months and has risen by about 60 % since the positive words of Vitalik Buterin.

However, the former top 10 crypto-asset has now declined by almost 5 % and is traded at around $ 13

OKB was another impressive performer, but also suffered a slight blow and fell to well under $ 30.

ripplecardano, polkadot, litecoin, tron and uniswap are now also on a daily basis in the minus.

Binance Coin stayed over $ 250, while Ethereum is still close to $ 1,250. Near Protocol and Ethereum Classic are today the best performers among the large cap alternatives. Both have increased by over 5 % and are traded at $ 5.9 or $ 19.

The crypto market capitalization essentially remained on the same stand as yesterday at almost $ 820 billion.
