Uniswap the stand-out performer as Bitcoin sets weekly small gain

October 22, 2024

THE slight pullback in crypto markets yesterday saw Bitcoin shave off some of its seven-day gains, but it's still in the green by 2% over the past week.

After dipping to a low of $66,600, Bitcoin recovered slightly and is now trading around $67,600, still far off from the $69,400 high it reached yesterday morning.

Ethereum saw deeper declines, down 2.6% overnight, while most other major cryptocurrencies followed suit. However, Uniswap stood out, bucking the trend with gains of more than 7% overnight, showing resilience amid broader market weakness.

The key question now is whether Bitcoin will remain rangebound between $67k and $68k, or if a new breakout toward the elusive $70k level is on the horizon. With markets still volatile, all eyes remain on whether Bitcoin can make another run at new highs.
