**Bitcoin Fails to Touch $100K, Altcoins Party Instead! 🎉**

- Bitcoin was close to reaching its dream price of $100,000, but unfortunately had to retreat slightly below $99,000. Maybe BTC needs a little encouragement from all of us!

- BTC dominance dropped to 56%, giving altcoins room to show off. DOGE, ADA, AVAX, and DOT all rose with double-digit spikes. Who needs a rocket when altcoins are flying on their own?

- Other altcoins like XLM, ALGO, and VET also didn't want to be left behind, jumping 52%, 33%, and 31% respectively.

- The total crypto market cap hit a new record above $3.5 trillion.

What do you think? Will altcoins continue to skyrocket? Let's discuss in the comments column!
