Shiba Inu (SHIB) Explodes 65% Daily, Dogecoin (DOGE) Follows Suit With 20% Surge (Weekend Watch)
The two-largest meme coins have taken the main stage in the crypto market in terms of daily gains.
Bitcoin’s price has calmed at around the $62,000 level after a noteworthy week in which the asset soared by over ten grand.
However, the altcoins have resumed their bull run with massive gains from the likes of DOGE, SHIB, BCH, UNI, ADA, and others
Altseason Incoming?
Numerous reports emerged in the past week or so suggesting that the altcoins, which were outperformed by Bitcoin lately, could be on the verge of a price explosion, thus triggering the next altseason. This prediction has materialized over the past 24 hours, at least for some.
Cardano, Polkadot, Chainlink, Polygon, Litecoin, and Ripple are just some of the examples of alts charting impressive gains. In their case, the daily increases are somewhere between 6-10%.
Even more impressive price pumps come from the two largest meme coins. DOGE has soared by 20% and sits close to $0.15, while SHIB has exploded by almost 70% and trades above $0.000021.
Bitcoin Cash is another notable gainer, having added more than 25% of value. As a result, BCH now trades close to $400. UNI and ETC have also jumped by double digits from the larger-cap alts.
Thus, the alternative coins have managed to reduce BTC’s dominance over them. The metric, which has soared by 5% in days to a two-month peak of nearly 51%, is now down to under 50% on CoinGecko.
The total crypto market cap remains close to $2.5 trillion.
Bitcoin Stops at $62K
The primary cryptocurrency had a big week as well. It all started on Monday after a quiet weekend in which the asset had remained stuck at $51,000. The bulls took charge and initiated a whooping leg-up that pushed BTC north by several thousand dollars.
By Tuesday and Wednesday, Bitcoin was knocking on the $60,000 door. After a brief hiatus there, it flew past that line and soared to a 26-month high of $64,000 later on Wednesday.
This is where the cryptocurrency faced a violent rejection that drove it south by more than five grand. Nevertheless, it managed to recover most of its losses almost immediately. Since then, BTC has stalled a bit and now stands at around $62,000.
Despite the declining market dominance, BTC’s market cap has remained at well above $1.2 trillion.

Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and JPMorgan Chase all believe that Moderna's breakthrough means that mRNA technology has successfully unlocked the oncology pipeline, significantly reducing the risk of melanoma recurrence and metastasis, and demonstrating the enormous potential of mRNA in non-respiratory diseases, setting a milestone in tumor immunotherapy. Goldman Sachs is optimistic about its potential across multiple cancer types; JPMorgan Chase and Citibank are more cautious, pointing out that the commercialization threshold for personalized customization is high, and the efficacy for other cancer types still needs to be verified.

Rescuing US Treasuries in "Soros Style"! From currency controls to interest rates, can Bessent beat the market?
"Bassent, a 'Soros disciple,' once assisted Soros in shorting the British pound and the yen and is renowned for 'discovering cracks.' Now, he is using the same market intuition to shift from offense to defense, attempting to suppress U.S. Treasury yields. Since the start of this year, he has repeatedly intervened: collaborating with Japan to intervene in the yen, hinting at a reduction in long-term bond issuance, and announcing a doubling of long-term bond buyback scale—earning him the reputation of 'the most active finance minister in market intervention in decades.' However, critics argue that such intervention cannot solve the fundamental issue of fiscal deficits."
