Welcome to today’s overview of crypto news on 05. 07.:

Weekend markets lose traction. But that didn’t happen, and BTC actually added about $ 3,000 in a matter of days. As a result, it pumped to a daily high of just under $ 36,000. At that moment, however, the bears caught the movement and reversed the trajectory. Within hours, BTC had lost approximately $ 2,000 and dropped under $ 34,000.

The Altcoins also reached new highs over the weekend, but most of them mimicked the retreat of BTC. For example, ETH climbed to a two-week high well above $ 2,300. However, a 3% decrease knocked the second largest cryptocurrency below this particular level.
