One dip occurred after Donald Trump canceled a planned US delegation trip for talks with Iran, pushing Bitcoin down to about 77,200 dollars. Later, the price briefly jumped following reports that Trump and other officials were safely evacuated from a White House event after gunshots were heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More significant movement came on Monday morning when Bitcoin climbed again to around 79,500 dollars following reports that Iran had proposed a deal to the United States. However, the rally was short lived, with the price falling back to roughly 77,500 dollars before stabilizing near 78,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s market capitalization remains close to 1.56 trillion dollars, and its dominance over the broader crypto market stays above 58 percent, according to CoinGecko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PENGU Leads the Gainers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among altcoins, Pudgy Penguins has taken the spotlight with a surge of more than 10 percent, pushing its price close to 0.01 dollars.
