It almost feels like a deja vu in the past few weeks, and it happened again on Monday morning as BTC pumped to just over $90,000, only to be rejected violently there and drive immediately south to its starting position.<\/p>\n

Most larger-cap altcoins followed suit, with ETH going above and below $3,000 in the span of hours.<\/p>\n

BTC Stopped (Yet Again)<\/h2>\n

The chart below will clearly demonstrate BTC\u2019s inability to break through the $90,000 resistance despite several attempts in the past few weeks. In fact, it has been rejected at least six times since December 16.<\/p>\n

In the previous business week alone, it tried twice but to no avail. Last Monday, it jumped to $90,500 when the bears stepped up and drove it south by four grand in the next couple of days. Another failed attempt took place<\/a> on Friday, but this time BTC couldn\u2019t even reach $90,000.<\/p>\n

What followed were a few days of sideways trading, in which bitcoin remained<\/a> between $87,000 and $88,000. The bulls went back on the offensive earlier today, driving the cryptocurrency to another weekly high of $90,400.<\/p>\n

The scenario repeated once again, though. The dead-cat bounce scenario, which many feared, drove bitcoin back down to under $88,000 as of press time. Its market cap is back to $1.750 trillion, while its dominance over the alts is just over 57% on CG.<\/p>\n

Alts Stopped Too<\/h2>\n

Ethereum followed the market leader earlier today, surging past $3,000 as it neared $3,050. However, it met the same fate as BTC and is now back to $2,960. BNB has returned to $856, while XRP is beneath the crucial support of $1.90.<\/p>\n

On a daily scale, SOL, ZEC, and DOGE are slightly in the green, while BCH has lost the most value from the larger-cap alts. CC is up by almost 4% to nearly $0.125.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap gained and lost $70 billion in hours today and is now back to $3.060 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
