Bitcoin\u2019s gradual price recovery to almost $90,000 came to another halt yesterday when the asset was suddenly rejected and dumped by roughly three grand in minutes.<\/p>\n
Most larger-cap alts have mimicked BTC\u2019s performance, with ETH sliding toward $2,900 again, while XRP has slipped to $1.85.<\/p>\n
The primary cryptocurrency had a wild week before the Christmas holidays when it pumped and dumped on several occasions from around $85,000 to $90,000, only to mark a local low at $84,400 after the US CPI numbers for November were announced. It managed to recover some ground during the weekend at the time and even went on the offensive last Monday.<\/p>\n
It spiked past $90,400 for the first time in about a week, and this rally seemed sustainable at first. However, as it happened during the previous few such attempts, the bears resumed control<\/a> almost immediately and drove the asset south hard to under $87,000.<\/p>\n Christmas Eve and Day were quite uneventful, as expected, but bitcoin attempted another breakout<\/a> on Friday. This time, it couldn\u2019t even reach $90,000 before the bears rejected it. In less than an hour, the cryptocurrency plunged to $86,500. It has rebounded slightly and now sits above a grand higher, but it\u2019s still 1.5% down on the day.<\/p>\n Its market cap is below $1.750 trillion again, while its dominance over the altcoins remains calm at 57.5% on CG.<\/p>\n <\/a>BTCUSD Dec 27.

XRP is well below its $1.90 support after another 1.5% daily decline. DOGE has dropped the most from the larger-cap alts, followed by LINK.<\/p>\n In contrast, XMR and HYPE have charted minor gains, while ZEC and RAIN have exploded by double digits. The former is up by over 13% and has risen above $500, while the latter stands close to $0.008 after a 10% daily pump.<\/p>\n The total crypto market cap has remained above the $3 trillion mark despite losing $40 billion since yesterday\u2019s peak.<\/p>\n <\/a>Cryptocurrency Market Overview Daily Dec 27.
