The cryptocurrency market starts June with the main cryptocurrencies falling. Despite this, some altcoins gain prominence.
Bitcoin price
The price of Bitcoin ended the month of May at a low, registering its first month of losses since the beginning of the year. Despite several attempts, the flagship cryptocurrency failed to break through the resistance levels at $27,500. In the last of these efforts, there was a jump to $28,500 after the US government agreed on the debt ceiling, however, this appreciation was brief and the asset retreated to below $27,500.
Yesterday, Bitcoin took a significant plunge, losing over $1,000 in a few hours to reach a multi-day low of $26,600. Despite a small recovery since then, Bitcoin is still trading lower.
The month of May ended with a 7% devaluation for Bitcoin, making it the first losing month of the year.
The market cap retreated to $520 billion, and its dominance over other cryptocurrencies dropped to 46.1%. Most altcoins did not perform better either, with the exception of Litecoin, QNT, GRT and a few more.
altcoins
Already in the Bitcoin alternative currency market, most coins are in a slight drop of up to 1% including ether, bnb, xrp and ada.
However, assets such as doge, ltc and sol manage to swim against the tide due to strong community, halving expectation in the case of litecoin or unknown reasons such as sol.
The highlight goes to the XDC Network, which achieved a partnership with the Japanese SBI VC Trade.
