The past week saw Bitcoin come close to $24,000 as it shattered previous resistance levels and registered a new ATH on the charts. Such bullish momentum has translated well for the altcoin market, thanks to its high correlation with the world’s largest and most dominant cryptocurrency. Popular altcoins like Binance Coin, Dash, and Augur all surged on the charts, ending up posting double-digit gains on the price charts.
