- Bitcoin dominance declines as market grows.
Sunday, January 4, 2026 – Bitcoin's recovery today maintained its momentum over the past 24 hours, pushing the asset to trade near $92.000, a multi-week high.This movement reinforces the more positive start to 2026, after Bitcoin ended 2025 as the first post-halving year in negative territory.
At the beginning of the week, the price moved out of the US$88.000 region and quickly advanced to near US$91.000. However, this trajectory was temporarily interrupted following news of geopolitical events in Venezuela, which caused a one-off correction to the US$89.300 range.
A few hours later, the market regained traction. With the pronouncement of the current US president, Donald Trump, and the confirmation of the success of the military mission in the South American country, Bitcoin resumed its buying momentum. The result was a new advance to the region of US$ 92.000, a level not seen since mid-December.
Even without managing to establish itself above that range, the asset remains trading above US$91.000. In the weekly accumulated figures, the appreciation reaches approximately 4,2%, while Bitcoin's market capitalization reached approximately US$1,825 trillion.
Despite the surge, Bitcoin's dominance over the total cryptocurrency market has slightly declined in recent days. The index fell from 57,7% to 56,9%, signaling that some of the recent flow has also been directed towards altcoins.
Among the major cryptocurrencies, Ethereum managed to recover the $3.100 level, registering a daily increase of nearly 1,4%. XRP advanced about 3,5% and approached $2,10, following the broader upward trend in the sector.
Other large-cap assets also performed positively. BNB remained close to US$890, while TRX traded near US$0,30. SOL, ADA, and BCH showed above-average gains, reinforcing the appetite for risk in the short term.
In the memecoin segment, Dogecoin rose approximately 7% and returned to trading above US$0,15. PEPE and SHIB registered double-digit gains, while BONK attracted attention by returning to the top 100 after a daily increase of around 30%.
Tokens associated with Trump's political ecosystem also performed positively, such as WLFI. With this set of movements, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization surpassed US$3,2 trillion, following an estimated daily increase of US$60 billion.
