Dogecoin and Cardano surges in price as crypto market valuation hits $3.5 trillion  

The total crypto market capitalization has crossed the $3.5 trillion mark, with several altcoins outperforming others.

The total crypto market is currently at $3.51 trillion, adding about $358 billion in valuation.

Dogecoin and Cardano were top performers this week, recording significant growth amid the bull run which pushed the total crypto market capitalization past $3.5 trillion.

Bitcoin is yet to hit the $100,000 milestone which the entire industry is waiting for despite coming so close. Buyers attempted to push Bitcoin past this $100,000 psychological resistance with the crypto asset coming as close as $99,000.

The surge in Buying momentum spilled into the altcoins and got them to overperform.

Dogecoin 

Dogecoin rose by 27% this week maintaining its position as one of the top-performing altcoins. The memecoin hit a yearly peak of $0.48 yesterday but has cooled to $0.4287 at the time of this report.

• The meme coin has seen an impressive 210% gain over the past month and ranks as the fourth most traded cryptocurrency, with 24-hour trading volumes reaching $26 billion.
• As the bull market continues the market anticipates a potential retest of the 0.73 price level. Analysts have pointed out the potential of even higher targets for 2025.
• Experienced analyst Javon Marks shared his technical analysis of Dogecoin predicting the target range of the price.

“(Dogecoin)’s prices are back surging here towards the $0.6533 and can be heading towards a meeting & breaking of it! Another +52.2% upside could be well on the way, coming quickly, and with a break above $0.6533, $1.25+ comes into play”  

Meanwhile, considering other technical indicators like the upper Bollinger Band and Relative strength index the recent rally could suffer a pullback as the RSI indicates that the asset is at the moment overbought.

Cardano hits $1  

Cardano is another altcoin that performed well during the week. The altcoin crossed the $1 price level during the week for the first time still April 2022.

• The altcoin has climbed 43.7% over the past week, trading at $1.08 at the time of writing. Additionally, its daily trading volume has surged by 86% to $8.1 billion, suggesting a growth in its market activity.
