XRP is currently the weakest performer among the top 10 altcoins today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin briefly reached a five day high of 68,400 dollars earlier in the morning, but the rally was quickly rejected. The price then dropped by nearly 2,000 dollars within hours following fresh developments related to the ongoing Middle East conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most altcoins followed the downward trend, falling between 2 and 3 percent over the past day. Among the top 25 altcoins, HYPE and XRP recorded some of the steepest losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin Turns Lower Again<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin repeatedly tested the 72,000 dollar resistance level during the previous week but failed to break through. The second rejection occurred on Wednesday morning, after which sellers gradually pushed the price down to around 69,000 dollars on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sharper decline followed on Friday when Bitcoin dropped to 65,600 dollars, dragging overall market sentiment back into extreme fear territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the weekend, Bitcoin traded slightly above 66,000 dollars, but on Monday it slipped again to just under 65,000 dollars, marking a new monthly low. Buyers stepped in and pushed the price back up to 68,000 dollars, but volatility continued. The market later fell again to around 66,300 dollars before briefly spiking to 68,400 dollars earlier today. Since then, sellers have regained control and Bitcoin is now trading below 67,000 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These price swings came amid conflicting reports about geopolitical developments. Some suggested that Donald Trump may consider ending the conflict even if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, while others indicated that certain regional allies are urging continued military pressure on Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XRP Slides Toward Support Level<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethereum is down slightly by more than 1 percent over the past day but is still holding above 2,000 dollars after reclaiming that level earlier in the week. BNB has fallen below 610 dollars after dropping around 2 percent. XRP has declined by 3.4 percent, pushing it closer to a key support zone at 1.30 dollars. Over the past week, XRP has lost more than 7 percent and has further weakened its position relative to BNB in market capitalization rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solana, Cardano, Cronos, Stellar, and RAIN are also trading lower among large cap assets, while HYPE and HBAR have dropped more than 5 percent on the day. In contrast, Bitcoin Cash and Zcash are among the few major assets showing small gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total cryptocurrency market capitalization has fallen by more than 30 billion dollars in a single day, now standing at about 2.38 trillion dollars according to CoinGecko.#crypto#cryptonews https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
