AXS, CVP and POLS lead altcoins higher while Bitcoin bulls search for a way to reclaim the $50,000 level.
The wider cryptocurrency market fell under pressure on Oct. 4 as the momentum generated by Bitcoin’s (BTC) weekend spike above $49,000 was overshadowed by more global concerns related to the global financial system, rising inflation and supply chain challenges.
Despite these struggles, many altcoins managed to rally and at the time of writing, the crypto gaming and decentralized finance sectors continue to grow in popularity.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the biggest gainers over the past 24 hours were Axie Infinity (AXS), PowerPool (CVP) and Polkastarter (POLS).
Axie Infinity releases new character details
Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based battle and collecting game that has been one of the breakout stars of 2021 and in addition to booking a stellar 5,000% rally, the game also helped to introduce the wider public to the powers of play-to-earn games and the income opportunities that they present.
According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, market conditions for AXS have been favorable for some time.

The rally in price on Oct. 4 came as a live chat with the developers behind the project leaked some new details about upcoming updates, including the addition of Axie scores for each character that add new abilities and effects for gameplay.
