At the time of writing, BSV was up 28.09% in the last 24 hours to $54.99. This surge has propelled Bitcoin SV to find itself among the top-performing assets on the crypto market. Bitcoin SV is the biggest daily gainer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
BSV has enjoyed a bullish ride since the week's start, initiating a rise on Oct. 15. The Bitcoin hard fork saw a major spike on Oct. 16, touching highs of $41.50. Profit-taking ensued, but bulls were not yet done.
Bitcoin SV initiated another rally on Oct. 18, and it is on track to mark its third consecutive day of gains. Today's jump was the largest yet, with BSV printing a massive green candlestick that led to highs of $57.71 during the trading session.
Currently, BSV is up 65.56% so far weekly. Santiment, an on-chain analytics firm, points out that as Bitcoin's dominance grows, BSV has been one of the standout assets in the past 24 hours.
