After this historic week in which bitcoin skyrocketed past its January all-time high and set a new one, the asset\u2019s price has retraced following Friday\u2019s tariff statements by the POTUS.<\/p>\n

Many altcoins have posted notable gains on a weekly scale, led by HYPE, while SUI and XRP have retraced the most from the larger caps.<\/p>\n

BTC to $108K<\/h2>\n

It all began last Sunday evening when BTC broke out of its weekend calmness and shot up from $103,000 to almost $107,000. It faced immediate resistance there and was pushed south on Monday. The scenario repeated once again as the business week progressed, but the bulls<\/a> took complete control of the market on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

After a minor pullback, the cryptocurrency went hard on the offensive in the afternoon and jumped past $109,100 to market a new all-time high. The bears were quick to intercept and drove bitcoin back down to $106,500, but that was another short-lived correction.<\/p>\n

By Thursday morning, BTC had resumed its run and skyrocketed<\/a> to almost $112,000 (on Pizza Day) to register a new all-time high.<\/p>\n

More volatility ensued on Friday when US President Trump recommended<\/a> new tariffs against the EU, and bitcoin slipped by several grand almost immediately. It now trades at around $108,000 after a quiet weekend<\/a>, but it\u2019s still 4% up weekly.<\/p>\n

Its market cap remains close to $2.150 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts is above 61%.<\/p>\n

Volatile Alts<\/h2>\n

The altcoins seem to be led by a new megastar: HYPE. Its price charted<\/a> a new all-time high on Friday, and even a compromised<\/a> Hyperliquid X account couldn\u2019t halt its momentum. It\u2019s up by 30% on a weekly scale and has become the top performer.<\/p>\n

AAVE follows suit with a 19% weekly jump, while XMR is third with a 17.7% such increase. PEPE and BCH are next in line.<\/p>\n

In contrast, SUI has dropped by 5% since this time last Sunday, and XRP has slipped to $2.3 after a 2.8% weekly decline.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has shed around $30 billion since yesterday and is down to $3.5 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
