Bitcoin holds around $74,000 today. The world's biggest cryptocurrency hit a six-week peak of $76,000 last week before getting smacked down hard by selling pressure and…

The digital asset pretty much crashed to nearly $70,000 during that mess, but it's climbed back up as traders returned Monday morning. Bitcoin's market cap sits at roughly $1.

Ethereum keeps trading above $2,300, which is kind of impressive given how volatile things got over the weekend. XRP also holds steady above $1.

But here's where things get interesting. SIREN just broke into the top 90 cryptocurrencies by market cap after a massive 300% surge over the past month.

Other altcoins had mixed results. XMR, CC, and SKY all dropped today, while ZEC managed a 3% gain to reach $276.

ZEC's 3% gain to $276 makes sense given the privacy coin narrative that's been building. Regulators are cracking down on transparent blockchains, so privacy-focused tokens might…

The $2.6 trillion total market cap is impressive, but it's been stuck in this range for weeks now. Bitcoin dominance at 56.

14 / 15

Market makers have been pretty quiet today. No major institutions put out research notes or price targets.
