- Most non-stablecoin top 10 cryptocurrencies have experienced growth.
- Meme-based cryptocurrencies have dominated the charts.
- Analysts have warned of a potential market correction despite the bullish sentiment.
This week, the cryptocurrency market continued its upward trend, with significant movement within the top 10 rankings. Notably, Tron was dethroned by Polkadot (DOT), marking a return for the latter after a period of absence. This development comes on the heels of a strong week for cryptocurrencies overall, with only two coins in the top 10 experiencing losses.
Polkadot Creeps Back into Ring
Shiba Inu, the meme-based newcomer to the top 10 last week, continued its impressive run with a 54% gain. This surge put it ahead of established names like Dogecoin, which rose by 23%, and Binance Coin (BNB), which saw a 27% increase.

While the overall mood remains positive, some analysts are raising cautionary flags. The Fear and Greed Index, a popular metric for gauging market sentiment, indicates an overheated market. Additionally, technical indicators suggest a potential correction might be on the horizon.
Despite these concerns, most top cryptocurrencies witnessed significant growth this week. Cardano displayed the smallest gain at 0.1%, while Polkadot and Solana followed closely with 10% and 11.4% gains, respectively. Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two leading cryptocurrencies, also climbed by 11.5% and 14%, respectively.
The only losers for the week were XRP and AVAX, which experienced minor losses of 1.75% and 1%, respectively. While their losses were minimal compared to the overall gains, they stand out as the only two coins in the top 10 that failed to capitalize on the current market momentum.
