The BTC exchange rate is hovering around 26,415 USD on Monday.
It has seen a decent rise compared to Friday's levels, and there are fundamental reasons for it, but the cryptocurrency still appears shaky. The sellers have eased their pressure. At least the key trigger that had been weighing on prices in recent weeks has lost its strength.

The capitalisation of the cryptocurrency market amounts to 1.065 trillion USD. BTC's share has risen to 48.1% and the share of ETH stands at 19.5%.
