What a week it was for the entire cryptocurrency market. Let\u2019s start and focus on Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

The primary cryptocurrency began the trading week with a massive price correction that pushed it south by several grand within a day. There were warning signs<\/a> about a potential drop below $90,000, and that transpired later in the day.<\/p>\n

This marked BTC\u2019s first decline to sub-$90,000 levels since November. However, bitcoin reacted well to this crash and bounced off<\/a> by $7,000 within less than 24 hours. More volatility was expected mid-week when the US CPI numbers for December were scheduled to go live.<\/p>\n

Although the regular and Core CPI were around<\/a> 3% YoY, BTC and the rest of the market started to gain value after the announcement. BTC neared $100,000 by the end of the day and surpassed that level on Thursday and Friday. In fact, it registered a multi-week peak of roughly $103,000 earlier today. As such, it managed to add nearly $14,000 since the Monday low in the span of less than a trading week.<\/p>\n

Many altcoins posted similar and even more impressive gains within the same timeframe. Ripple\u2019s native token stole the show once again. It bottomed at $2.33 on Monday but went on a wild run within the next 72 hours that pushed<\/a> it to $3.39 (on most exchanges). Thus, XRP came less than 1% away<\/a> from breaking its 2018 all-time high of $3.4 (according to CoinGecko).<\/p>\n

As the graph below demonstrates, the weekly market picture is quite favorable, with numerous massive beneficiaries. Aside from XRP, the other double-digit gainers include DOGE<\/a>, SOL, ADA, XLM, LINK, AVAX, SHIB, HBAR, and more.<\/p>\n
