Meme coins might seem like they’ve rallied a lot, but they’re nowhere close to forming a top yet. As an example, between March 2020 and May 2021, Dogecoin price rallied 65,122% in just 420 days.
Bitcoin price sits comfortably above key levels
Bitcoin price ended the previous week after a 22% increase. This development marks a 310% rally from the bottom of $15,479. Furthermore, the recent move seems to be a step in cementing BTC’s position above $60,000. With nearly 10% away from the all-time high of $69,138, investors are waiting with bated breath for BTC to overcome the current ATH and set up a new one.
