However, it couldn\u2019t keep marching forward, and the subsequent retracement drove it south to $68,000 over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>As the war only intensified during the weekend, BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-volatility-returns-as-oil-prices-go-wild-ethereum-fights-for-2k-market-watch\/\">dipped<\/a> to $65,600 on Monday morning alongside the legacy financial markets. However, it rebounded almost immediately, especially after US President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-eyes-70k-oil-prices-dump-as-trump-claims-the-war-is-almost-over\/\">claimed<\/a> that the war was almost over. BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/hyperliquid-hype-rockets-by-double-digits-bitcoin-btc-tops-71k-market-watch\/\">climbed<\/a> toward $70,000, and even though that resistance was too strong at first, the asset managed to reclaim it yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>The bulls drove it to a six-day peak of $71,800, where it was rejected and pushed south. As of now, bitcoin trades well below $70,000, with a market capitalization of $1.390 trillion on CG. Its dominance over the altcoins has also declined, and it\u2019s now below 57%.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BTCUSD-Mar-11.png\"><\/a>BTCUSD Mar 11.

BNB is down to $640 after a minor decline, while XRP has lost the $1.40 support. LINK has declined the most from the larger-cap alts, followed by HYPE, SOL, and ADA.<\/p>\n<p>More losses are evident from ZEC, TAO, SKY, and UNI, while ICP has defied the overall market trend with a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/internet-computer-icp-price-soars-16-on-upbit-listing-details\/\">notable 12% surge<\/a> to $2.7 after a listing by Upbit.
