ZEC stands in one corner, while POL is in the other.
Bitcoin’s weekend price stagnation continues as the asset has failed to make even a minor move out of the $90,000-$91,000 tight range.
Most larger-cap alts have remained sluggish as well, with just a few impressive price gainers over the past 24 hours – XMR and RAIN.
BTC Stalls at $90.5K
Bitcoin entered 2026 after a controversial 2025 that actually ended in the red. It quickly started to regain value and surged past $90,000 on the second day of the new year. Even the geopolitical tension between the US and Venezuela couldn’t keep it down for long, and BTC remained above that key level last weekend.
The bulls went on the offensive even more on Monday and Tuesday, pushing the cryptocurrency to a new multi-week peak of just under $95,000. However, after gaining roughly $7,000 in just days, BTC was poised for a correction, which transpired almost immediately.
In the span of just 36 hours, bitcoin slipped by five grand and dipped below $89,500. It reacted well to this decline and quickly rebounded to over $90,000, where it has remained since Friday, when it was rejected at $92,000. The past 24 hours have been quite dull, as BTC has traded at around $90,500 without any deviations.
This means that its market capitalization remains sideways at $1.810 trillion, while its dominance over the altcoins is just shy of 57%.
Weekly Gainers and Losers
As mentioned above, RAIN and XMR are the only notable price gainers over the past 24 hours. As such, we will focus mostly on the weekly performances. Interestingly, both assets are also on this list as well, having surged by double digits to $493 (XMR) and $0.009 (RAIN).
POL has stolen the show since last Sunday, rocketing by 44% to $0.17. SUI and TAO have also charted notable gains. In contrast, ZEC and CC have plunged by double digits, followed by DOGE, MNT, UNI, and HBAR.
The total crypto market cap has remained at around $3.180 trillion on CG, which is essentially the same level as yesterday.
