Bitcoins price went to a new multi-week high of just under $103,000 but was stopped there and pushed south by around a grand.

The altcoins have performed a lot worse on a 24-hour scale, resulting in a growing BTC dominance.

BTC Dominance Increases

Monday and Tuesday saw a few violent price rejections for the primary cryptocurrency, which was driven to $94,400 on a couple of occasions during those days. However, the bulls managed to prevail and propelled a few leg-ups that helped BTC recover all losses and were quick to challenge the six-digit entry territory by Thursday.

In fact, bitcoin indeed broke through that level and spiked to $102,000 on Friday and Saturday. It was stopped there at first but the bulls drove it even further hours ago to just under $103,000.

Nevertheless, it couldnt penetrate that line and now sits beneath $102,000. Nevertheless, its market capitalization continues to see new local peaks and sits well above $2 trillion.
