Last Wednesday, Bitcoin briefly touched $90,000 before reversing course and beginning a steady decline after the US Federal Reserve paused interest rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East were blamed for Thursday\u2019s sharp sell off, which pushed Bitcoin down to a multi month low of $81,000. The price rebounded on Friday and early Saturday to $84,000 as precious metals sold off, but weakness returned over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an unusual move for a Saturday afternoon, Bitcoin dropped sharply from $83,000 to $76,000. Although it recovered somewhat on Sunday, it fell again on Monday morning to below $75,000, marking its lowest level since April of last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin later bounced and tested the $79,000 level, where it faced resistance and is now trading below it. Its market capitalization has declined to $1.56 trillion, while its dominance over altcoins on CoinGecko has risen to 57.7 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HYPE Leads the Market<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most large cap altcoins followed Bitcoin lower over the past several days. Ethereum was hit particularly hard, sliding from above $3,000 to near $2,100. While it has since rebounded, it continues to struggle below $2,300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>XRP, TRX, and XLM are slightly down, while SOL, BNB, ADA, and BCH posted modest gains. Hyperliquid once again led the market, jumping 19 percent to $37. CC also stood out, climbing 8 percent to trade above $0.19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total cryptocurrency market capitalization has recovered about $70 billion from yesterday\u2019s low and now stands above $2.7 trillion on CoinGecko.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyperliquid continues to outperform the broader market downturn, posting another strong gain over the past 24 hours.
