Bitcoin continues to enjoy bullish sentiment as its price surges to a new yearly high. However, investors are wondering how long the dominance will last.
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap is also enjoying the momentum as its price continues to trade above the $2,200 mark. However, XRP tells a different story as it already starts to shed some of its earlier gains at the time of writing.
Others like Terra Classic (LUNC) have seen gains of as much as 30% in the last 24 hours and over 100% over the last week. Memecoins like Gorilla have enjoyed an 8% rise in the last 24 hours and a massive 289% surge in the last 7 days. Both coins occupy the first and second position respectively on the list of top trending cryptocurrencies in the market right now.
But will the prices of these coins continue to grow? let’s dive right into it.
