Bitcoin climbed to $64,550 this morning, marking its highest price point in over a week. This recovery follows a sluggish weekend where the asset remained stuck in a tight range near $63,000. After falling to a 10 day low of $62,500 last Friday, bulls managed to regain control and push the price back toward key resistance levels.

Because Bitcoin is rising while many other assets remain flat, its market dominance has grown by nearly 0.5 percent in just one day, reaching 57.2 percent. This shift suggests that capital is flowing back into the primary cryptocurrency rather than the broader altcoin market. Investors are watching closely to see if Bitcoin can maintain its position above $64,000 or if sellers will force another pullback.

Altcoins have had a mixed performance during this period of movement. While assets like VVV and HASH have posted double digit gains, major tokens like Ethereum and XRP are seeing little to no movement. Other assets including Stellar and Dogecoin are currently trading in the red. The total market capitalization has increased by roughly $20 billion, reaching a total of $2.26 trillion.
