Altcoins bag double-digit gains as Bitcoin price approaches $37,000

Cryptocurrency prices surged on June 29 as Bitcoin (BTC) price pushed through the $35,000 resistance level and lifted the total market cap by $93 billion, with $50 billion of that total flooding into altcoins.

Bitcoin put on a 7% gain on the day to climb back above $36,000 and leading traders to expect a rally to the $38,000 to $41,000 level if (BTC) can flip the $35,000 level into support.

As the market turned green, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro tracked notable bullish developments in a number of select altcoins including Polygon (MATIC), SushiSwap (SUSHI) and PancakeSwap (CAKE). 

Polygon (MATIC)

The first coin that has been gaining traction lately is Polygon (MATIC), an Ethereum (ETH) network layer-two solution, whose price has increased 35% since its swing low price of $0.93 on June 22 as BTC crashed below $29,000.

Bitcoin breaks above $36,000

The strength seen across the altcoin market the past two days is in large part thanks to the strong performance of Bitcoin, which finally pushed above the $35,000 resistance and currently trades at $36,400.
