The past weekend was indeed an interesting one in the digital currency market. After plunging deep and trading in the red in the course of the week, almost all the top twenty coins were in the green over the weekend. Some of the digital currencies even recorded double-digit gains. Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP (XRP) – the first, second, and third largest coins by market cap, were also in the green.
However, the gains amassed by the world’s most dominant digital currency, whose dominance is now down to 50%, was very little. Bitcoin (BTC) traded in the green over the weekend with very little gains. The gains gathered by the digital currency over the week was not more than 2 percent.

Bitcoin (BTC) has been facing a major hurdle on the upside. The digital currency has been trading within a tight range. Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin (BTC) has been unable to break over the $4,150 mark. The value of the coin has been within the range of $3,800 and $4,100.
The failure of Bitcoin (BTC) to record massive gains has also affected the valuation of the entire digital currency market. The capitalization of the entire market is just above $140 billion, and it might plunge lower if Bitcoin (BTC) declines further.
At the moment, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading in the red with a margin of about one percent over the past twenty-four hours. The digital currency is now trading at $3,970 after trading slightly over the $4k level last weekend.
The dominance of Bitcoin (BTC) is gradually reducing, and it is now slightly over 50 percent. The $4,200 level has been a strong barrier for the digital currency. However, with the underground developments and Bitcoin price predictions for 2019, the digital currency might gather enough momentum to break over that level soon.

The immediate resistance of the digital currency is at the 32 cents level. If XRP fails to break over this level in the short-term, it might plunge to the 30.5 cents support level.
