Dogecoin (DOGE) up 25.5% as XRP Rockets 16.2% in This Week's Altcoin Rally
This week, popular cryptocurrencies Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP emerged as leading large-cap altcoins, catching capital that moved out of Bitcoin into assets considered higher-risk than BTC itself. According to Glassnode data, both DOGE and Ethereum posted gains of 25.5% over the past seven days, while XRP advanced 16.2% and Solana added 13.6%.

Remember 2021?
Altcoin summer
Many market participants were pessimistic in August, but the early summer set the stage for these moves. June saw compressed volatility and narrow trading ranges across the altcoin sector — conditions that often precede directional breakouts. July’s expansion in price action created the momentum for August’s increase.
Both assets are currently trading near the upper boundaries of their multi-month ranges. There is no doubt that the probability exists for either a consolidation phase to absorb recent gains or an upside extension if market breadth and risk appetite remain in play.
A sustained rotation into altcoins would support a so-called "altcoin season." But be careful — a reversal in sentiment could trigger a reallocation toward Bitcoin and stable assets.
