Bitcoin Reclaims $78K Amid Broader Market Gains

Bitcoin has regained the $78,000 mark over the weekend, following a notable dip below $77,000 on Friday. This recovery comes after a significant price surge earlier in the month that saw BTC climb from under $65,000 to highs exceeding $81,000. While a hawkish stance from Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole contributed to Friday's correction, Bitcoin's market capitalization has since grown by approximately $15 billion, and its dominance over altcoins is increasing.

Most larger-cap altcoins have experienced minor gains. Ethereum is trading just above $2,450 but remains below its $2,500 threshold. BNB is attempting to reclaim $700, and XRP is struggling to hold above $1.40. Other notable movers include Solana, Tron, and Hype, which are slightly up, while Zcash has seen a modest increase.

Among the top performers, Uniswap's UNI token has surged by 11% to $4.90. Pi Network's native token also managed to defend a critical support level above $0.091 after briefly dipping below it. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization has seen an increase of around $30 billion, reaching approximately $2.74 trillion.
