Bitcoin’s halving countdown shifts attention to altcoins, with AVAX experiencing fluctuating prices at $34.88 post a minor increase, while Solana’s price sits at $137, remaining distant from its peak amidst the meme coin frenzy.
With the Bitcoin halving approaching in less than three days, focus is turning towards altcoins as well. Currently, there are 427 blocks remaining until the halving, scheduled for April 19, giving us just over 2 days and 18 hours until the event. Meanwhile, let’s take a look at what’s happening with the top altcoins in the market.
AVAX Resumes Attention in the Crypto Market
AVAX, a prominent project in the market, has shown signs of regaining momentum since the latter part of last year. Having left its mark alongside Solana during the previous bull run, AVAX remains under close scrutiny by investors in the foreseeable future.
On March 19, 2024, AVAX sparked excitement among its investors by surpassing the $60 mark. However, it experienced a significant pullback shortly after, plunging nearly 50%. Presently, AVAX is trading at $34.88, reflecting a modest 0.48% increase.
Despite fluctuations in price, AVAX’s market capitalization remains above $13 billion, securing its position as the 12th largest cryptocurrency by market cap. However, its 24-hour trading volume has dropped to $703 million following a 22% decrease.
Solana’s Journey Through Bull Runs and Market Corrections
Solana emerged as a standout performer during the previous bull run, despite facing setbacks like the market crash and FTX incidents. At the start of 2023, SOL plummeted to $8. However, from this low point, SOL embarked on an impressive upward trajectory. By the end of 2023, it had surged back above $100, and during the recent Bitcoin all-time high period, it soared to over $210.
During this period, Solana became a focal point for the meme coin craze, leveraging its network capabilities. However, despite its successes, SOL couldn’t evade the broader market correction. Presently, SOL is trading at $137, experiencing a slight 0.04% decline in the last 24 hours.
While SOL remains below its previous all-time high, there’s optimism that it could reach new heights if the meme coin craze resurfaces and investor interest grows once again.
Ethereum Faces Price Volatility Amid Market Fluctuations
Ethereum, holding the undisputed position as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market volume, has faced challenges in recent times. During the peak of Bitcoin’s all-time high, Ethereum’s price surged above $4,000 before plummeting to $3,000.
Presently, Ethereum is grappling with maintaining its price above the $3,000 mark. At the time of writing, it stands at $3,093, indicating ongoing volatility and uncertainty in the market. Additionally, 1 ETH is trading at around 100,000 Turkish Lira, reflecting the global reach and impact of Ethereum’s price movements.
