Internet Computer (ICP) is currently on an impressive bullish run following the crypto market upturn, which saw many assets show signs of recovery. In the last week, ICP has taken center stage, recording the biggest gains among the major coins in the market.  ICP Shows Its Mettle In Crypto Ranking According to data from CoinMarketCap, the Internet Computer token recorded an 18.25% gain over the last seven days, outperforming every other token in the top 50 crypto rankings within the same period. The web-affiliated altcoin initially began the week trading around $5.6 on Sunday. ICP showed no significant price action in the early days of the week but soon followed the Bitcoin price rally gaining by about 20.3% in the last two days. In this month of April, the Internet Computer token has been a focal point of investor’s interest, surging by about 24% to trade above $7 for the first time since February.
