Bitcoin Tops $35K as These Altcoins Skyrocket: Market Watch

Bitcoin’s price managed to climb above the coveted $35,000 level, which seems to be the major target for the bulls throughout the past few days.

Meanwhile, some of the altcoins are popping and charting massive gains.

For those unaware, this is the metric that’s most commonly used to gauge its share relative to that of the entire market. In Layman’s terms, it means that altcoins (collectively) are outperforming Bitcoin.

All in all, it seems to have been a positive 24 hours in the industry, and it’s interesting to see if the momentum will transition into the week.
