Bitcoin\u2019s price rally that drove it past $81,000 on a couple of occasions in the past week came to a halt after the hawkish stance by the new Fed Chair displayed yesterday, and the asset slipped to a five-day low of under $77,000.<\/p>\n

Most altcoins followed suit, posting 3-5% daily declines. Ripple\u2019s XRP, which recently peaked at $1.70, initiated another leg down, dropping below $1.40.<\/p>\n

BTC Dips Below $77K<\/h2>\n

The primary cryptocurrency\u2019s explosion that began on August 19 took it from under $65,000 to almost $80,000 in 48 hours last week, where it finally faced some resistance and slipped to $75,500 during the previous weekend. However, the bulls quickly regained control and pushed the asset north as the new business week began.<\/p>\n

At first, BTC challenged the $80,000 level, which the bears managed to defend<\/a> initially, but buyers were more persistent and drove bitcoin above it to $81,000 on Tuesday morning. It couldn\u2019t keep climbing and retraced to $79,000 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The bulls returned in full force on Thursday and Friday morning, pushing<\/a> the cryptocurrency to another 15-week high of $81,500. Nevertheless, BTC was rejected once again, and the Jackson Hole speech didn\u2019t bring any positives. Shortly after its conclusion, the hawkish stance by Warsh resulted<\/a> in another leg down for bitcoin, dipping below $77,000 within an hour or so.<\/p>\n

Although it has rebounded slightly to over that level now, bitcoin is still more than 2% down on the day. Its market cap has declined to $1.555 trillion, while its dominance over the alts remains above 57%.<\/p>\n

Alts Back in Red<\/h2>\n

Ethereum is down by almost 3% in the past 24 hours as it was rejected at $2,500 once again and now sits at $2,430. BNB has slipped further away from the $700 level, now trading beneath $690. XRP tanked from $1.45 to $1.38 as of now, following a 3.2% daily drop.<\/p>\n

SOL, DOGE, LINK, XLM, and HYPE have produced similar losses, while BCH has slumped by more than 7% to under $250. RAIN and XMR are among the few alts with slight gains today.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has decreased by $80 billion from yesterday\u2019s top to $2.720 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
