Bitcoin has been struggling for the last month and has struggled to hold the $20,000, losing its footing multiple times. Through this time, altcoins, while having followed the digital asset on the way down, had begun to gather momentum through the small recoveries recorded over the last couple of weeks. As July draws in on its first weekly close, performance across the market has shown that bitcoin is getting left behind.<\/p>\n

Altcoins Take The Lead<\/h2>\n

The altcoins had been the worst losers of the downtrend. Although all of the indexes including bitcoin had seen losses into the double-digits, the small cap altcoins especially had recorded more losses. However, now that the market is headed into what looks like a recovery stretch, the smaller altcoins have pushed their heads forward to claim the majority of the gains.<\/p>\n

The Small Cap Index has seen gains up to 4.9% barely a week into the month of July\/. This recovery is replicated across the Mid Cap Index which, surprisingly, had returned the highest gains for the time period. With 5.0%, the Mid Cap Index comes out ahead of all of its counterparts.<\/p>\n

As for the Large Cap Index, it was not left out of the recovery trend with 3.1% in gains recorded so far. These coins had followed the rally of bitcoin the closest and as such, had been the closest to it in terms of the gains that have been seen so far.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s gains so far for the month of July have come out to 0.5%, the lowest of all of them.

Best\u2019s work garners tens of thousands of readers monthly, who rely on the information in these publications to keep up-to-date with everything happening in the crypto community. Best\u2019s articles explore breaking news, intricate systems such as yield farming, liquidity pools, and other decentralized finance (DeFi) systems. This is because Best understands the importance of information to gaining financial freedom and believes that everyone should have access to this information. Best also believes in leveraging the blockchain for philanthropy to create the most positive social impact. This involves work with charitable organizations focused on financial literacy and education. With each article, Best lends a voice to important issues such as a more financially inclusive future, transparent systems for growth and development, and technology that is not self-serving but one that serves all of humanity. When not curating engaging content, Best can be found reading a book with a cup of hot chocolate, enjoying a Netflix series, or exploring the outdoors with Green - the world\u2019s most quiet and well-behaved Husky. Best\u2019s interests also span other industries such as art, finance, and security, attending seminars and conferences in not just the crypto industry but other industries as well. As an animal lover, Best is also involved with charities for animals, local shelters, and rescues. Best is also involved in local events that promote inclusivity, such as being a prominent member of hiking clubs and a cycling club, as well as being a part of a very happy group of animal lovers. Best is a true professional in every sense of the word, with an exceptional dedication to producing high-quality work. This shines through in Best's work on and off the clock. These include advocating for inclusive crypto education for all, the impact of financial illiteracy, and the benefits of adopting new technologies such as cryptocurrencies. Best\u2019s prolific career in the media industry is a testament of how hard work and dedication pays.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/best-owie-41a150178\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/BestOwie"],"url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/author\/owiebest\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Altcoins Take The Lead As Bitcoin Struggles To Hold Above $20,000","url":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/altcoins-take-the-lead-as-bitcoin-struggles-to-hold-above-20000\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/altcoins-take-the-lead-as-bitcoin-struggles-to-hold-above-20000\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/bitcoin-vs-altcoins.png?resize=200%2C200","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/bitcoin-vs-altcoins.png?fit=1600%2C900"},"articleSection":"Cryptocurrency Market News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Best Owie"}],"creator":["Best Owie"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NewsBTC","logo":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32"},"keywords":["altcoin","altcoin performance","altcoins","bitcoin","bitcoin index","bitcoin performance","btc","btcusd","btcusdt","large cap index","mid cap index","small cap index"],"dateCreated":"2022-07-06T17:00:09Z","datePublished":"2022-07-06T17:00:09Z","dateModified":"2024-06-11T12:30:13Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Altcoins Take The Lead As Bitcoin Struggles To Hold Above $20,000\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/news\\\/altcoins-take-the-lead-as-bitcoin-struggles-to-hold-above-20000\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/news\\\/altcoins-take-the-lead-as-bitcoin-struggles-to-hold-above-20000\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/07\\\/bitcoin-vs-altcoins.png?resize=200%2C200\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/07\\\/bitcoin-vs-altcoins.png?fit=1600%2C900\"},\"articleSection\":\"Cryptocurrency Market News\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Best Owie\"}],\"creator\":[\"Best Owie\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"NewsBTC\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/06\\\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32\"},\"keywords\":[\"altcoin\",\"altcoin performance\",\"altcoins\",\"bitcoin\",\"bitcoin index\",\"bitcoin performance\",\"btc\",\"btcusd\",\"btcusdt\",\"large cap index\",\"mid cap index\",\"small cap index\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2022-07-06T17:00:09Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-07-06T17:00:09Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-11T12:30:13Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/wncen.com\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/bitcoin-vs-altcoins.png?fit=1600%2C900","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495024"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/541"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/495028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=495024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=495024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
