    The cryptocurrency market looks set to close one of its best weeks in recent months. Most cryptocurrencies added considerable gains in a spectacular turn of events. This week witnessed some remarkable movements following a dreary period for assets across the board. This led to an increase of nearly $200 billion in the overall market capitalization, now at approximately $2.35 trillion.Bitcoin started trading in the green during the week at around $62,000. Many investors feared that BTC would soon revert to all habits and descend following a reasonable trading period. However, the king of cryptocurrencies surprised everyone as it went on a surge, hinting towards $70,000. Backed by the bulls, BTC made it all the way to $69,200, which is still a significant achievement.
