Ah, the illustrious Bitcoin, that capricious creature of the digital realm, found itself halted at the lofty height of $86,500 yesterday. Alas, the winds of fortune shifted, and it succumbed to a tempest of selling pressure, plummeting over three thousand dollars in mere hours. Such is the fate of those who dare to soar too high! 🥴
Meanwhile, the altcoins, those fickle companions, also found themselves in a state of disarray. SOL, ADA, SUI, AVAX, and HBAR, once basking in the glow of prosperity, now languish in the crimson depths of despair. Truly, a sight to behold! 😱
BTC‘s Brief Encounter with Glory
Last week was nothing short of a dramatic opera, with Bitcoin careening from over $83,000 to a dismal underbelly of $75,000, only to rise again like a phoenix, entering the weekend at a respectable $84,000. It valiantly defended its position on Saturday, and on Sunday, it even dared to go on the offensive! How noble! 🦸♂️
But Monday, oh Monday! It began with such promise as BTC challenged the $86,000 mark for the first time in a week. Yet, like a tragic hero, it faltered and was cast down to $83,000. The bulls, however, were not to be deterred, and yesterday, Bitcoin soared above $86,000, reaching a two-week peak of $86,500. What a glorious moment! 🎉
Yet, as swiftly as it rose, it was met with a violent rejection, losing a significant portion of its value and tumbling back to $83,000. It clings to that level once more, hovering near $84,000, but alas, it remains over 2% down for the day. Its market cap has dwindled to $1.660 trillion, yet its dominance over the altcoins continues to rise, now standing at a staggering 61%. Such irony! 🤷♂️

Alts in a Sea of Red
Once, the altcoins basked in the glow of impressive gains, but now they have turned a deep shade of red. The most grievous losses are suffered by SOL, ADA, AVAX, SUI, and HBAR, each plummeting by more than 5% daily. Ethereum, too, has lost its $1.6 support after a 4% slip, while XRP finds itself below $2.1 after a 4.6% plunge. Oh, the humanity! 😩
And what of the Pi Network’s native token? It has plunged into the abyss, suffering a catastrophic 16% drop to just over $0.6. One might recall that PI’s price tumbled by double digits within the span of an hour yesterday. A true tragedy! 😭
Yet, amidst this chaos, OM stands as a beacon of hope, surging over 25% daily after the recent crash. A rare exception in this tumultuous sea! 🌊
In total, the crypto market cap has shed around $70 billion in a single day, now resting at a mere $2.730 trillion. Such is the fickle nature of fortune in the world of cryptocurrency! 🥳
