Bitcoin (BTC) Challenges $92K Again, Monero (XMR) Charts New ATH: Market WatchBitcoin’s price tapped a 6-day peak earlier today when it jumped past $92,500 briefly before it slipped back down to $92,000.
Most larger-cap altcoins have marked minor gains over the past day, with ETH reclaiming $3,100 and BNB tapping $910. XMR has stolen the show once again, surging to yet another all-time high.
BTC Aims at $92K
The primary cryptocurrency began the previous business week with a strong rally that built on the weekend gains. At the time, BTC had already reclaimed the $90,000 level and surged to a multi-week high of almost $95,000 on Tuesday morning. However, the bears finally stepped up at this point and bitcoin found itself dumping below $89,500 by Thursday.
After losing over five grand in the span of just 48 hours, BTC rebounded and spent the weekend trading sideways around $90,500 after it was rejected at $92,000 on Friday.
On Monday, bitcoin went on the offensive once again. It challenged $92,000 on a couple of occasions on Monday and Tuesday, but it was stopped both times. The asset is at it again now as it tapped $92,500 earlier today. It now trades at $92,000 as its market capitalization has climbed to $1.840 trillion.
Its dominance over the altcoins is also on the rise, surging to 57.1% on CoinGecko after dipping to 56.6% a few days ago.

MYX and IP have surged by double digits as well, followed by NEAR, AAVE, CC, and ICP. In contrast, BCH and LTC are slightly in the red.
The larger-cap alts are a lot less volatile, with minor gains from ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL, DOGE, and TRX.
The total crypto market cap has added $40 billion daily and is up to $3.220 trillion on CG.
