After charting a new nine-month low beneath $75,000, bitcoin\u2019s price rebounded in the past 24 hours but failed at $79,000, and now sits inches below it.<\/p>\n

Aside from HYPE and CC, both of which have posted notable gains within the same timeframe, most other larger-cap alts are quite sluggish.<\/p>\n

BTC Capped at $79K<\/h2>\n

It has been a tough week for the primary cryptocurrency, and there were little to no indications by last Wednesday about how grim the situation could get. On Wednesday, the asset tapped $90,000 but was stopped there and began its gradual descent after the US Fed paused the interest rate cuts.<\/p>\n

The escalating tension in the Middle East was blamed for Thursday\u2019s substantial crash when BTC slumped to a multi-month low of $81,000. It rebounded on Friday and early Saturday to $84,000, while the precious metal market crashed, but the situation worsened once again during the weekend.<\/p>\n

In a rather untypical manner for a Saturday afternoon and evening, bitcoin crumbled<\/a> from $83,000 to $76,000. It regained some traction on Sunday but crashed<\/a> again on Monday morning to under $75,000 \u2013 the lowest level since April last year.<\/p>\n

It bounced off in the following hours and challenged $79,000, where it was stopped and now sits below it. Its market cap is down to $1.560 trillion, while its dominance over the alts on CG is up to 57.7%.<\/p>\n

HYPE on the Run<\/h2>\n

Most larger-cap alts followed bitcoin on the way south over the past several days. Ethereum was hit very hard, dropping from over $3,000 toward $2,100. Despite rebounding since then, it still struggles below $2,300.<\/p>\n

XRP, TRX, and XLM are slightly in the red, while SOL, BNB, ADA, and BCH have posted insignificant gains. HYPE has stolen the show once again, surging by 19% to $37. CC is the other big gainer with a 8% pump to over $0.19.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has regained $70 billion since yesterday\u2019s low and is above $2.7 trillion on CG now.<\/p>\n
