Bitcoin ($BTC) is still ploughing a furrow towards $100,000, perhaps by the end of the year, but the number one cryptocurrency isn’t having it all its own way. Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) has slackened off slightly after reaching a 60.58% high recently. Some of the top-ranked altcoins are taking advantage. Render ($RENDER), Near Protocol ($NEAR), and Dog Wif Hat ($WIF) are leading the surge.
With the market jumping onto the Bitcoin train, the price of the king of the cryptocurrencies recently reached $82,500. However, Bitcoin Dominance has fallen slightly, and some of the top altcoins by market capitalization have taken advantage of the opportunity to go on their own price surges.

Further targets, should this reversal take place, are at $7.41, $9.86, and $11.60 (0.386, 0.618, 0.786 Fibonacci levels).
$NEAR bulls need to push price beyond $9

$NEAR (NEAR/USDT) is up around 13% on the day so far, and has succeeded in breaking through the descending trendline. It must be recognised that $NEAR is 73% off of its all-time high, and this is a lot of ground to make up, given that the bull market is more than half-way through.
