Bitcoin was rejected again at $87,000 on Monday, and the bears took it a step further earlier this morning, pushing it south hard to under $84,000.
BTC’s decline dragged most of the altcoins with it. Ethereum slipped below $2,600, XRP dumped further away from the $1.50 support, and HYPE is close to breaking below $90.
BTC Below $84K
After the positive PCE data last Wednesday, which sent BTC up and down within minutes, the asset went on the offensive on Friday. It had climbed above $86,000 even before the US jobs report went live, which was weaker-than-expected. The bulls initiated another leg up, driving the cryptocurrency to over $87,000.
However, the bears stepped up at this point. Bitcoin slumped in the following hours and ultimately crashed below $84,000. It rebounded to just over that level on Saturday and climbed to $85,000 on Sunday. It tried to take down the crucial $87,000 support on Monday, but it was quickly stopped and dipped to $85,000.
Another breakout attempt followed on Tuesday, but BTC couldn’t go past $86,600 this time. It pulled back by a grand and stood there for a few hours before it suddenly slumped by over $2,000 on Monday morning in minutes to $83,600. Its rebound stalled at $84,400, and the asset is now struggling at $84,000.
Its market capitalization is down to $1.680 trillion, while its dominance over the alts has remained at the same level as yesterday at 59% on CMC.
Alts Bleed Out
ETH was among the hardest-hit larger-cap alts today, dropping by over 4% at one point to under $2,600. XRP has seemingly lost the $1.50 support after a 3% decline pushed it to $1.46. BNB, SOL, TRX, and ZEC are also slightly in the red.
More painful declines come from the likes of ADA (-6.5%), UNI (-8.5%), CRO (-5.5%), SHIB (-6%), as well as WLD, CC, SUI, CRO, and HBAR. DOT has plummeted by 9%, while MNT has decreased by 10%. BTW is among the few exceptions among the larger-cap alts.
The total crypto market cap has shed over $60 billion in a day and is down to $2.850 trillion on CMC.
