The king coin is currently trading at $18,705 registering a 2.30% rise over the past 24 hours. However, it is important to note that BTC is losing steam at the top after recording a new yearly high of $18,936.

Ethereum made the most of Bitcoin’s falling dominance as it registered a new yearly high of $594.58 after soaring more than 9% over the past 24 hours.
