Bitcoin’s price actions remained relatively dull even though the US CPI numbers came out yesterday and were slightly lower than expected.Many altcoins have notched impressive gains over the past 24 hours, with RAY and ENA leading the pack from the largest 100.BTC Maintains $103KThe primary cryptocurrency enjoyed the beginning of May as its price finally conquered the $100,000 level last Thursday, and it hasn’t looked back since. It kept climbing even during the weekend, but the culmination transpired on Monday when the US and China announced a tariff pause. At the time, BTC skyrocketed to almost $106,000, which became a new multi-month peak.However, the bears finally intervened at this point and didn’t allow an attempt for an all-time high. Just the opposite; BTC started losing value and dropped below $101,000 on Monday evening.It didn’t stay there for long and bounced to around $103,000 yesterday. The aforementioned better-than-expected US CPI numbers for April failed to result in immediate price volatility, but BTC still challenged $105,000 in the evening to no avail.Since then, the asset has lost nearly two grand and fights to stay above $103,000. Its market cap is well above $2.050 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts has taken a beating and is down to 59.1%.BTCUSD.

RAY, ENA, and MKR have surged by double-digit price increases, while WIF has dropped the most since yesterday by losing 5% of value.The total crypto market cap has recovered over $60 billion since yesterday and is above $3.460 trillion on CG.Cryptocurrency Market Overview.
