Despite fresh developments surrounding United States tariff policy, Bitcoin has remained relatively steady over the weekend, trading close to 68,000 dollars. Meanwhile, most large capitalization altcoins have shown limited movement, although Pi Network’s native token has declined once more.
Bitcoin Steady Around 68,000 Dollars
Last weekend, Bitcoin rebounded from a low near 65,200 dollars and climbed to almost 71,000 dollars within days, marking its first return to that level in about a week. However, as the new business week began, bearish pressure pushed the asset back down to around 65,600 dollars by Thursday.
A modest recovery followed on Friday and Saturday, with bulls driving the price to a short term high of approximately 68,800 dollars. These gains came despite renewed tariff tensions in the United States, which have previously triggered heightened volatility in crypto markets.
On Friday, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that several tariffs imposed by Donald Trump were unlawful. In response, Trump criticized the decision and announced a new global tariff of 10 percent, later increasing it to 15 percent on Saturday.
Although Bitcoin has eased slightly from its recent peak, it continues to hover near 68,000 dollars. Additional volatility may emerge when futures markets reopen Sunday evening, similar to previous reactions during tariff related tensions involving the European Union and Greenland.
Bitcoin’s market capitalization currently stands at roughly 1.36 trillion dollars, according to CoinGecko, while its dominance over altcoins is about 56.6 percent.
Pi Token Under Pressure Again
Pi Network recently marked the first anniversary of its Open Network launch, yet the milestone has not supported its token price. PI has fallen about 6 percent in the past 24 hours and remains below 0.165 dollars, placing it among the weakest performers in the market.
Other notable declines include Ethereum Classic, Arbitrum, and Ethena, each posting sharper losses. In contrast, PIPPIN has surged more than 17 percent on the day, approaching 0.60 dollars.
Among larger capitalization assets, Dogecoin, Cardano, and HYPE have declined around 3 percent, while XRP and Chainlink have slipped modestly. Ethereum, Solana, TRON, and Bitcoin Cash have recorded minor gains.
The total cryptocurrency market capitalization remains above 2.4 trillion dollars, according to CoinGecko.
