BTC, ETH, DOGE & SHIB Market Update 📈
Crypto is down this week, with BTC up 1.2% and ETH up by 1.5%:

Coingecko As at 7:49 pm ET
Bitcoin dominance increased over the week, starting at 60.67% and reaching a high of 61.02%, before settling at 60.91%. Investor sentiment, regulatory changes, technological advancements, and the overall growth of the cryptocurrency sector shape Bitcoin's market dominance. Its reputation as "digital gold" also enhances its position, making it a key player in the market.

It’s going to be interesting to see whether this trend will continue in the short term, as capital in crypto tends to flow initially to BTC and then further out on the risk-curve, starting with altcoins like ETH and then into mid- or low-cap coins.
