Bitcoin failed at over $71,000 once again yesterday after the latest volatile session prompted by the developments in the Middle East, and now struggles below $70,000.<\/p>\n

Most larger-cap alts have posted minor gains on a daily scale. ETH has managed to defend the $2,000 level, while HYPE has jumped to $37 after an 8% increase.<\/p>\n

BTC Beneath $70K Again<\/h2>\n

After last Wednesday\u2019s rejection at the monthly peak of $74,000, bitcoin headed straight south in the following days. Although it remained around $68,000 over the weekend, it dipped to $65,600 on Monday morning when most legacy financial markets opened.<\/p>\n

The bulls finally intervened after this decline and helped the asset recover over five grand by Tuesday, when it jumped to nearly $72,000. However, it couldn\u2019t keep climbing<\/a> and dipped to $69,000 on Wednesday. The US CPI numbers came out, matching<\/a> expectations, and BTC remained relatively still below $70,000.<\/p>\n

A few hours later, though, it jumped above $70,000 and even $71,000 briefly after the POTUS said<\/a> there\u2019s \u201cpractically nothing left to target\u201d in Iran. That was a short-lived bounce, though, as bitcoin has lost the $70,000 since then and now struggles just below it.<\/p>\n

Its market capitalization remains inches below $1.4 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts is still beneath 57%.<\/p>\n

PI, HYPE, SKY Jump<\/h2>\n

Most larger-cap alts have remained relatively sluggish daily, with the big news coming from ETH, which managed to remain above the coveted $2,000 support. HYPE has outperformed its competitors, skyrocketing by over 8% daily to a local peak of $8.50. TAO and SKY are the other notable gainers from this cohort of alts.<\/p>\n

Pi Network\u2019s native token received major adoption news from Kraken, as the veteran exchange said<\/a> it would enable PI trading as of March 13. The asset remained flat at first, but it has gained almost 5% daily and peaked at $0.24 minutes ago. It\u2019s among the few alts with massive double-digit gains over the past week and month.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has remained relatively still since yesterday, currently sitting at just over $2.450 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
