🔊Weekly Market Highlights #94: April 15 - April 21

✨The week of the 4th halving event in BTC history was dominated by macro news, sending BTC down to $59.6K - the lowest level since early March.

✨Over the past week, the crypto market total capitalization increased by ~$20B (from ~$2,368B to ~$2,388B).

✨Bitcoin Aims at $65K
✅The week leading to the fourth BTC halving was quite painful. BTC fell from over $70K to $65K last Friday before it dumped to $61K a day later.

✅After regaining some traction by Monday, BTC experienced another freefall in the middle of the week and one more on Friday amid the escalating tension between Iran and Israel. The last massive drop took BTC to below $60K just hours before the highly anticipated halving was supposed to take place.

✅However, the cryptocurrency soared by over five grand in the next half a day and stood at around $65K when the halving was completed.

✅Since then, there has been little volatility, and BiTC currently sits around $65K again after failing at $66K.

✨SHIB Takes the Main Stage
✅The altcoins have performed much better than BTC in the past week, led by the second-largest meme coin, Shiba Inu. SHIB has skyrocketed by 20% and now trades above $0.000026.

✅Other lower-cap meme coins have also presented double-digit gains, such as BONK, FLOKI, and PEPE.

✅LINK, ICP, NEAR, and INJ also increased well this week, from ~13% to 18%.

✅BNB, XRP, ADA, DOT, LTC, and UNI are also green, with around 6-8% gains.

✅BSCS celebrates 3rd anniversary, ready for the upcoming bull run season

✨Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index is 73 - Greed, lower than at the beginning of the week (74)

✨Dominance:
✅BTC: 53.6%
✅ETH: 15.9%
