Meanwhile, according to CoinMarketCap, the market leader was adjusting hands at $26,463.11 at the time of publication. After gaining 1.64% over the previous 24 hours, BTC was able to surpass the significant $26K mark. Despite the positive daily performance, the cryptocurrency’s weekly performance remained in the danger zone at -7.61%.
