Bitcoin has seen some good gains in the last day which eventually saw the digital asset climb over $29,000 for the first time in nine months, albeit briefly. But despite the price gains that the digital asset has seen in this time, it is still not the best performer in the crypto market as some altcoins continue to put up impressive rallies. ARB, CFX, And 1INCH Make A Splash As the week draws to a close, there have been some interesting movements from both Bitcoin and altcoins in the market. However, some altcoins continue to rise above and have been mostly in the green, especially in the last two days. The digital assets that have been able to maintain their gains during this time include Conflux (CFX), Arbitrum (ARB), and 1inch Network (1INCH). At a time when altcoins are struggling to keep up with Bitcoin’s gains, these assets continue to outperform.

Now, ARB is interesting in that the coin was airdropped to users of the Arbitrum Layer 2 blockchain, and massive dumping followed shortly after, as expected. But after hitting a local low of $1.11 on Tuesday, the cryptocurrency has been on an uptrend since then. It is now trading at a price of $1.36, making it the third-highest gainer behind 1INCH. Bitcoin Not Giving Up To Altcoins Even though these altcoins continue to outperform Bitcoin, the pioneer cryptocurrency is not giving up easily. It has been able to maintain the $28,000 territory despite mounting pressure from bears. It is also holding consistent gains on the weekly chart, which is not the same for most altcoins.

Right now, as long as BTC continues to return gains and stay above its 50-day moving average, it remains on a path to re-enter a complete bull market.
