BTC, ETH, DOGE & SHIB Market Update 📈

Crypto is down this week, with BTC down by 11.1% and ETH down by 15.3%:

Bitcoin dominance has decreased over the week, starting from 58.1% to a high of 59.05% and ending at 57.6%. 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.
