Crypto Chronicles: The Week of Whales, Woes, and Wondrous Wins! 🐋💰

Ah, the week that was! Unlike the previous trading week, which erupted like a poorly made firecracker, this one tiptoed in with the grace of a cat on a hot tin roof. The price crashes that had us all gasping for air were replaced by a calm that was almost eerie, yet just as eventful, if not more so. Who knew tranquility could be so thrilling? 😏

The weekend, as expected, was as exciting as watching paint dry. Bitcoin lounged around $84,000, only to be stirred by a whale’s short position on Sunday evening. The community, bless their hearts, tried to liquidate the poor creature but ended up with nothing but a wet noodle for their efforts. The first real drama unfolded on Tuesday when BTC took a nosedive towards $81,000, only to heroically defend its honor. Talk about a comeback! 💪

Wednesday and Thursday saw Bitcoin strutting its stuff. The US Federal Reserve, in a move that surprised absolutely no one, decided to keep interest rates unchanged. This news sent ripples through the crypto market, like a pebble tossed into a pond. But the real showstopper came when Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, announced the end of the SEC lawsuit. Cue the confetti! 🎉

Bitcoin, in a fit of excitement, surged past $87,000 during the Thursday morning Asian trading session, reaching a two-week peak. But alas, like a soap bubble, it couldn’t hold its shape and plummeted back to $84,000 almost immediately. Such is the life of a crypto asset! 😅

As of now, Bitcoin remains at $84,000, with a market cap of $1.650 trillion and a dominance over the altcoins at 58.5%. The weekly scale is slightly in the red for BTC, while SOL, ADA, DOGE, and PI have taken a nosedive. Meanwhile, BNB and TRX are basking in the glory of notable gains, and TON has risen by 24% after Durov’s passport retrieval. Who knew passports could be so lucrative? 🛂
