At first, the cryptocurrency shot up to a multi-month peak of almost $106,000 before the bears took brief control of the market and drove it south to under $101,000 hours later.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the predominantly bullish sentiment prevailed and bitcoin remained within six-digit price territory. Moreover, it bounced off and spiked to $105,000 a day later where it found another rejection. The price moves repeated in a smaller extent but BTC overall managed to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/these-altcoins-plunge-hard-but-bitcoin-btc-maintains-103k-market-watch\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">remain<\/a> above $103,000.<\/p>\n<p>It slipped below that lower boundary yesterday, but that was also short-lived and now sits around $104,000. This has pushed its market capitalization to over $2.060 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts has retraced slightly since yesterday, but is still above 60%. Yet, this hasn\u2019t stopped many analysts from <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/these-5-altseason-indicators-are-all-in-alignment-is-it-go-time-for-altcoins\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">speculating<\/a> that the altseason has started.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_396914\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-396914\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BTCUSD-18.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-396914\" src=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/BTCUSD-18.png\" alt=\"BTCUSD.

Ethereum has reclaimed the $2,500 level after a 2% daily increase, while XRP has neared $2.4 following a similar jump. More impressive daily pumps come from SOL, TRX, AVAX, and LINK.<\/p>\n<p>However, the meme coins lead in terms of daily gains. The largest of the bunch has soared by 5% to $0.22 while SHIB is up by 5.5% and sits above $0.000015. Even bigger gains come from the likes of WIF (11%), Fartcoin (9%), BONK (8%), and FLOKI (8%).<\/p>\n<p>PI has found a place somewhere between them with a 9% daily increase.
