The gap between BNB and XRP continues to widen after XRP faced another rejection during its recent price attempt. At the same time, Bitcoin dropped below the crucial $80,000 level, adding further pressure across the cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most major altcoins are trading in negative territory today. Solana has fallen by more than 4%, Uniswap is down around 5%, while Internet Computer recorded one of the steepest declines with a 9% drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin Falls Under $80,000 Again<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin experienced another volatile trading session this week. Earlier in the week, the leading cryptocurrency dipped to $78,250 before rallying close to $83,000 on Wednesday, marking its highest level in over three months. However, the upward momentum quickly faded, sending BTC back to around $79,500 by Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The asset recovered slightly during the weekend and returned to the $80,000 zone. On Monday, bullish momentum pushed Bitcoin toward $82,500, but strong resistance prevented a breakout. Another failed attempt near $82,000 on Tuesday triggered renewed selling pressure, especially after the release of April\u2019s CPI inflation data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin later climbed to approximately $81,250 yesterday but once again failed to maintain momentum. The rejection drove BTC down to nearly $78,750 on Bitstamp, its lowest price since May 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Bitcoin has managed to recover roughly $1,000 from the recent low, it remains down by about 1.5% over the past 24 hours. Its market capitalization has dropped to around $1.6 trillion, while Bitcoin dominance over the altcoin market remains above 58%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BNB Strengthens Position Above XRP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BNB successfully reclaimed the fourth position by market capitalization and has continued to increase its lead over XRP in recent hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past month, BNB has gained more than 9%, pushing its market cap above $90.4 billion. In comparison, XRP posted a smaller 4% monthly increase, leaving its market capitalization at roughly $88.5 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethereum has also moved lower, declining by about 1.5% to trade near $2,265. Solana remains under heavy pressure after slipping more than 4% and is currently struggling to stay above the $91 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other major cryptocurrencies including Cardano, Hyperliquid, Zcash, Chainlink, Stellar, Monero, and Uniswap are also recording notable losses. Internet Computer stands out among the biggest losers after plunging more than 9% in a single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization has lost more than $40 billion within 24 hours and has now fallen below the $2.75 trillion level.#crypto#cryptonews https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
