Can any of the altcoins surpass the rise of Bitcoin (BTC)?

The new week has begun with a slight correction of the market as most of the coins are in the red zone. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are the only exceptions to the rule.

BTC/USD

Over the past weekend, the Bitcoin (BTC) price consolidated in a sideways range with support around $54,000. At the end of last week, there were several attempts by bulls to break above the resistance of the $55,288 level, but all of them ended with a pullback to the support area of ​​$54,000.

Late Sunday night, there was a sharp rise in volatility on the Bitstamp exchange. In a short period of time, the BTC price broke out to a monthly high around the $56,500 mark, and then a rather large transaction took place at a price of $51,000. Such a low price is not a market price and is not recorded anywhere on other exchanges.

As of this morning, the Bitcoin (BTC) price has again recovered above the 78.6% Fibonacci level, but the purchase volumes are very low. If the bulls manage to unleash the rush demand, then the retest of the resistance of $58,000 remains, as before, relevant.

Bitcoin is trading at $57,258 at press time.

BNB/USD

Binance Coin (BNB) could not follow the price action of Bitcoin (BTC) as the rate of the native exchange coin has declined by 0.67%.

On the daily chart, Binance Coin (BNB) is trying to fix above the vital mark of $400. The slight growth is not supported by a high trading volume, which means that buyers are not ready for a breakout.

If today's daily candle fixes around the current price, there is a chance to see a continued rise to the zone of $500.

BNB is trading at $417.90 at press time.

ADA/USD

The rate of Cardano (ADA) has gone down by almost 2% over the last 24 hours.

ADA/USD chart by TradingView

Cardano (ADA) remains trading in a narrow range with no vivid bullish or bearish signals. One may expect sellers' dominance if the price fixes below the $1.99 mark. However, if buyers seize the initiative, the rise may lead the price to the resistance around $3.10.

ADA is trading at $2.21 at press time.

DOGE/USD

DOGE is the biggest loser today as its rate has fallen by 4.44% since yesterday.

DOGE is trading similarly to Cardano (ADA) as it is also located in a sideways trend. In this case, the more likely scenario is the test of the liquidity zone around $0.2445, followed by a slight drop to $0.22.

DOGE is trading at $0.2351 at press time.
