Bitcoin Failed to Break $69K Resistance
After days of stagnation and losses, Bitcoin finally made a move yesterday, breaking above the $69,000 mark. However, the attempt was short-lived as the leading cryptocurrency faced strong resistance at that level.
- Altcoins such as TON, XRP, and BCH managed to post modest gains in the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin’s Struggle at $69K
The price action of Bitcoin this week has been challenging, starting with a sharp decline from over $70,000 to under $66,000 on Monday. Subsequently, the bears pushed the digital asset even lower to a 10-day low of around $64,500 on Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Despite these setbacks, Bitcoin managed to initiate a slow recovery on Thursday morning, reclaiming some lost ground.
- However, despite briefly surpassing $69,000, BTC faced a strong rejection and slipped back by about three thousand dollars, currently hovering above $67,000.
Altcoins in the Red, WIF Takes a Hit
Most of the major altcoins are trading in the red today, with Solana leading the decline with a significant 6% drop to $173. Other notable losers include DOGE, AVAX, and LINK, seeing declines of 3-4%.
- ETH, BNB, ADA, and DOT are also experiencing minor losses, while BCH, TON, and XRP are among the few gaining assets, up by 1-2%.
- WIF, on the other hand, has plummeted by 15% in the last 24 hours, with the meme coin’s price dropping to $3.3.
Total Crypto Market Cap Sees Growth
Despite the struggles of individual cryptocurrencies, the overall crypto market cap has managed to increase by approximately $10 billion, reaching $1.635 trillion on CG.
