Bitcoin The primary cryptocurrency was in a freefall state since last Tuesday, when it peaked above $102,000. Its inability to sustain that level resulted in immediate retracements that pushed it south hard. Within 48 hours alone, it had lost over ten grand, but that was just the start. After a minor recovery last Friday and during the weekend, bitcoin headed straight south on Monday. This time, the bears were even more persistent, pushing BTC down to under $91,000 for the first time since late November and later to below $90,000. In fact, that crash took bitcoin down to a multi-month low of $89,200 (on Bitstamp). At this point, the bulls finally reminded of their presence and didn't allow another breakdown that could have driven BTC to under $85,000. The cryptocurrency started to recover some ground rather rapidly and jumped to $95,000 earlier today. The bulls kept the pressure on and drove the asset to just under $97,000 as of now. Its market cap has risen to over $1.910 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts stands just shy of 55%.
