Bitcoin\u2019s overall underwhelming price performance continued in the past 24 hours as the asset is close to breaking below $90,000 decisively.<\/p>\n

Most larger-cap alts are also slightly in the red daily, as ETH is down to $3,100, while XRP sits at a pivotal support level at $2.00.<\/p>\n

Will BTC Lose the $90K Support?<\/h2>\n

The primary cryptocurrency began the business week with high hopes of substantial price resurgance due to the FOMC meeting on Wednesday. A day before the US Fed met for the last time in 2025, the asset indeed went on the run and exploded by several grand to just over $94,500.<\/p>\n

It slipped following this multi-week peak but challenged it again on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve cut the rates<\/a> by 25 bps. However, this was another fakeout as bitcoin quickly lost all of the momentum and dumped<\/a> below $89,500. It bounced to $93,600 on Thursday afternoon, only to be rejected again on Friday and dip below $90,000.<\/p>\n

The bull managed to defend that level on Saturday, helping BTC climb to $90,500. However, the bears have been more persistent so far on Sunday as the cryptocurrency sits just under that coveted support.<\/p>\n

Its market cap has dropped below $1.8 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the altcoins is close to 57%.<\/p>\n

Red and Green<\/h2>\n

Most larger-cap alts are quite sluggish on a daily scale, so we will focus on their weekly performances. The chart reveals that although ETH has slipped by 1% in the past day, it\u2019s actually 2% up weekly at $3,100. XRP has lost around 1% within the same timeframe and now struggles to remain above $2.00. TRX is down by 3%, while HBAR has plunged by 8%.<\/p>\n

In contrast, ZEC has exploded by 25% even though it has lost 5% of value since Saturday. MNT is up by 18% to $1.27, CC has gained 14%, while XMR has jumped by 9%. M has outperformed the rest with a 40% weekly surge, while QNT and KAS are down by 11% each.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has lost another $20 billion daily and is down to $3.150 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
