As Bitcoin (BTC) reclaimed $70,000 on the wee hours of Sunday, the crypto market saw a slight relief after a volatile week.

In the broader altcoin market, Bitcoin’s relief has rolled over to five altcoins that have emerged as top gainers over the weekend. Aster (ASTER), Sun (SUN), Nexo (NEXO), UNUS SED LEO (LEO), and Hedera (HBAR) were among the strongest performers over the past 24 hours, according to market data.

Top Altcoins Lead Weekend Gains

Aster (ASTER) led the group, while several other tokens posted mid-single-digit gains as buyers stepped back in.

Sun (SUN) also moved higher, though with a more measured pace. The token traded near $0.01, rising 7.8% over the past day and about 0.7% over the past week.

Nexo (NEXO) rebounded over the weekend as buying returned after a weak start to the week.

With a market capitalization of roughly $7.7 billion. On Stockwits, retail sentiment around the LEO remained in the ‘neutral’ territory, as the chatter levels around it remained ‘high’ over the past day.

Finally, Hedera (HBAR) tracked the broader recovery as market prices steadied. The token was trading around $0.09, up just over 6.1% in the past 24 hours and extending modest gains over the week. Hedera’s market capitalization was about $4.0 billion, and its performance reflected a steady rebound. On Stockwits, retail sentiment around HBAR remained in the ‘bullish’ territory, as the chatter levels around it remained ‘high’ over the past day.

Why Some Investors Say Bitcoin Is Still Undervalued

Many market analysts, like Raoul Pal, cited a recovery in the U.S. M2 money supply, which is currently close to $22.7 trillion and up roughly 5% year over year, as well as a weaker dollar index at 97.8, as macro indicators that Bitcoin remains undervalued relative to overall liquidity conditions. According to the CEO of Real Vision, these patterns indicate that Bitcoin should be trading closer to $140,000 by now.

Venture capitalist Tim Draper echoed the bullish outlook, reiterating long-term price targets that extend well beyond near-term cycles. Draper, who acquired 30,000 BTC at the U.S. Marshals auction in 2014, said Bitcoin could reach $250,000 in the near term, then climb toward $1 million and, eventually, $10 million as fiat currencies lose purchasing power over time.
