Bitcoin price has managed to remain exactly where they were 24 hours ago. There was some correction seen in the latter half of yesterday but that was quickly recovered in the early hours of today to bring BTC prices back to status quo. Currently trading around $24,050, it is up about 0.1% from yesterday.
Ethereum price action however, has been slightly positive. Currently trading around $1920, it is up about 3% in the past 24 hours, bringing ETH prices back above another psychological region. If ETH prices are able to sustain and hold on to this level, we may see continued positive action, especially with the highly anticipated Ethereum Merge on the way later in September 2022.

GLOBAL CRYPTO MARKET OVERVIEW
Total Crypto Market Cap | Source: Tradingview
And with the Relative Strength Index ranging around 62, we could see added support for an upward move too. If we see a successful breach into the territory above $1.2 trillion, we will see the formation of a decently strong support zone and thus have a higher probability of not falling down again. Most of the bad news in the market has already been discounted in the prices and hence there's no major reason to cause a fall for the foreseeable future.
BITCOIN PRICE TODAY
BTC/USD | Source: Tradingview
Bitcoin's price action has been very much in line with the overall crypto, but there is something interesting brewing in the king coin. Its market cap dominance for the first time in a very long time has dipped below 40%. The last time it had gone below 40% was back in January 2022. But today on 17 August, 2022 for the first time in nearly seven months, Bitcoin's market cap dominance has fallen to 39.8% and trending lower.
This indicates altcoins, primarily led by Ethereum are eating away at the giant market cap captured by the king coin and are quickly gaining stature. This becomes significant because even back in November 2021, when the market had its last all-time-highs, Bitcoin's market cap dominance was well over 45%. But now amid the recent recovery, Bitcoin touched sub-40% regions.
This indicates Bitcoin is probably losing out favour amongst investors as they have more confidence and a more risk-on attitude on smaller altcoins and want to invest in those altcoins.
CRYPTO MARKET: THE WEEK AHEAD
The week ahead for the crypto market now can be expected to continue to be moderately bullish. It will make higher highs and higher lows over a period of days and gradually trudge on upwards, and with seemingly Ethereum taking the lead in the rally this time around. So Ethereum investors have a lot to be excited about, especially with the upcoming Merge and the evident price appreciation that is happening ahead of the Ethereum Merge.
