XMR, NEAR, and AVAX have posted the most gains among the larger caps.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Sees New 8-Month High<\/h2>\n<p>The previous week didn\u2019t go well for the primary cryptocurrency, at least on a macro level. On Tuesday, the US Senate <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/breaking-us-senate-fails-to-advance-crypto-clarity-act-heres-what-this-means\/\">voted against<\/a> advancing the key CLARITY Act. A day later, the US Federal Reserve <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-btc-reacts-to-fed-rate-hike-analysts-split-on-what-comes-next\/\">hiked<\/a> interest rates for the first time since July 2023.<\/p>\n<p>BTC reacted to both developments with expected volatility, dipping to a multi-week low of $75,000. However, it rebounded swiftly by Friday when it surged past $80,000. It kept climbing on Saturday and neared $82,000. However, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/btc-price-slides-toward-80k-avax-defies-market-correction-weekend-watch\/\">halted<\/a> there as the tension in the Middle East escalated while Ukraine and Russia carried out more violent attacks against each other.<\/p>\n<p>Monday, though, has been entirely the opposite so far. BTC bounced off the $80,000 support after it had <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-reclaims-50-week-moving-average-for-the-first-time-in-over-10-months\/\">reclaimed<\/a> the 50-week MA, and rocketed to just over $84,000 minutes ago to mark an eight-month high.<\/p>\n<p>It remains above $83,000 as of now, with its market cap surging to $1.670 trillion on CMC. Its dominance over the alts remains inches below 59%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1449171\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1449171\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/BTCUSD-September-21.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1449171 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/BTCUSD-September-21.png\" alt=\"BTCUSD September 21.
