Crypto Trends 29 May – 4 June 2023: Market Analysis and Performance

The crypto market stagnates for another week, with most assets moving only slightly around the same values. Moreover, very few cryptocurrencies catch the eye with spectacular rises. Even the market capitalization remained essentially at the same value, increasing by only $13 billion.

Bitcoin trades comfortably only slightly above the $27,000 level. The king of crypto settled in this region weeks ago, and it doesn’t seem like it will move any time soon. Nevertheless, its dominance across the crypto board remains intact.

Ethereum continues its assault on the $2,000 level, albeit its efforts are far from jaw-dropping. This week, the second crypto in command has gained nearly 4% in value. Currently, ETH is trading a little above $1,900.

The crypto market maintains the positive trend that started in January. Despite pessimistic rumors, most crypto assets have reached stability and continuity, which should help them as soon as the next bull run begins. Hopefully, this situation will go on as we reach this year’s midpoint.
