Things worsened on Monday morning, witnessing a further drop to a five-day low of $40,500.
However, the tides turned as bullish momentum entered the scene. Instead of continuing its decline, BTC took charge and surged by nearly $3,000 within a day, crossing the $43,000 mark for the first time since last Thursday.
Currently, BTC hovers around $43,000, marking a 5% increase for the day. Its market cap has risen to over $840 billion, with its dominance over altcoins regaining some ground, standing at over 52%.

Avalanche (6%), Polkadot (6%), Shiba Inu (6%), Dogecoin (4.3%), Chainlink (4.5%), and Ethereum (4.3%) are next among these altcoins. Binance Coin, Ripple, Polygon, and Tron also show gains, though more modest.
