The cryptocurrency market is continuing a gradual upward trend centered on major large-cap coins. Bitcoin (BTC) is moving just below the psychologically significant $80,000 mark, while Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) are also holding firm as they search for direction.

■ Bitcoin: Only '$53' Left to Reclaim $80,000

According to price screens on the 6th, Bitcoin rose 0.2% to $79,946.41. With only about $53 remaining before the psychologically key $80,000 level, the battle over whether Bitcoin can reclaim $80,000 continues. Data from other overseas markets that day also showed Bitcoin trading around $79,896, near the $80,000 mark.

The market views Bitcoin's close approach to the $80,000 level as a variable that could determine short-term market direction. Analysts say that if Bitcoin firmly breaks through and settles above $80,000, the market sentiment could change, but if it is pushed back at that price level, repeated short-term fluctuations cannot be ruled out.

■ Altcoins Including Ethereum and Ripple: 'Support Confirmation' Is Key Amid Stability

Ethereum rose 0.1% to $2,501.37. Some in the market note that Ethereum's price volatility has decreased as it has defended the $2,400 level. Going forward, a tug-of-war between buying and selling forces is expected to continue around the $2,500 mark.

Top altcoins by market capitalization are also showing generally stable movements. Binance Coin (BNB) is trading at $756.90, while Ripple is up 0.2% at $1.42. Ripple is holding near $1.42, making both the possibility of further gains and the strength of support at the current price level key factors to watch. The stablecoin Tether (USDT) is maintaining its dollar peg at $1.00.

■ In Summary: A Pattern of 'Limited Parallel Gains' Rather Than a Sharp Rally

Overall, rather than a sharp rise, large-cap coins are showing a pattern of rising together within a limited range.
