Altcoins also see significant gains as market sentiment turns bullish.

In the past week, Bitcoin finally surpassed $30,000 and Ethereum broke $2,000 after the successful Shapella update and the release of better-than-expected US inflation data. This caused a slight euphoria in the market with rising prices for almost all coins and a return to a bullish sentiment.
