Profit taking and Bitcoin consolidation give bears an opportunity to take control

The total crypto market capitalization reached its highest close in three months on April 3 at $2.23 trillion, but the performance between March 28 and April 4 was a mere 1.9% gain. During this time, (BTC) presented a 2.6% negative performance, although that was more than offset by the gains from altcoins.

While Ether (ETH) and BNB gained less than 3% over the past seven days, a handful of mid-capitalization altcoins managed to rally 20% or higher.
