Bitcoin lost key support at 70,000 and declined by nearly 3,000 dollars in recent hours, slipping toward 69,000.
Most altcoins followed the downward trend with daily losses of around 4 to 5 percent. Ethereum fell below 2,100, BNB dropped to about 630, and XRP moved under 1.40.
Bitcoin Struggles to Hold Ground
After failing to break above 76,000 last week, Bitcoin declined to 69,000 before stabilizing around 70,000 over the weekend, briefly touching 71,000.
Market volatility increased following renewed tensions involving Donald Trump and Iran, pushing the price lower before a temporary rebound above 71,600 on optimism around possible negotiations. However, gains were short lived as conflicting developments caused sharp swings.
Bitcoin later climbed to around 72,000 midweek but faced renewed selling pressure, eventually dropping back to near 69,000. Its market capitalization has fallen below 1.4 trillion dollars, while its dominance over altcoins has slipped to about 56.5 percent.
Mixed Performance Across Altcoins
Ethereum has declined by nearly 5 percent in the past day, while BNB and XRP have also recorded losses. Other major altcoins such as ADA, DOGE, DOT, and AAVE have seen even steeper drops.
A few assets have resisted the broader downturn. TRX has remained slightly positive, while MemeCore has surged more than 30 percent and is trading above 2.30.
Overall, the total cryptocurrency market has lost about 60 billion dollars in value over the past day, bringing the total market capitalization down to roughly 2.46 trillion dollars.#crypto#cryptonews https://coinsignals.net https://t.me/coinsignalpublic
