Crypto Market Cap Flirts With $3T Mark as Bitcoin Was Stopped at $88K: Market Watch

Bitcoin’s price recovery that started on Friday led the asset to $88,000 earlier today, where it faced an immediate rejection and now stands two grand below it. Most larger-cap alts have been quite sluggish on a daily basis, but ETH has remained above $2,800, and XRP has held above $2.00. BTC Fails at $88K The previous business week started on the wrong foot, and the mood persisted for days. On Monday and Tuesday, BTC was violently rejected at $96,000 and pushed south to under $90,000. Although it bounced off to $94,000 almost immediately, the bears returned quickly and initiated even more painful leg downs until the rest of the week. After decisively losing the $90,000 support, bitcoin kept plunging and plummeted below $81,000 on Friday. This meant that the asset had lost $15,000 in the span of less than a week and tanked to a seven-month low. After this calamity, the cryptocurrency finally saw some relief following hopeful comments about an upcoming US Fed rate cut. It bounced off to $84,000 during the weekend and climbed further on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning to $88,000. However, that level was too strong for the asset. It was rejected there and driven down to $86,000 as of press time. Its market cap stands still at $1.715 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts is close to 57%. BTCUSD.
