Bitcoin\u2019s price reacted immediately to the stronger-than-expected US jobs report on Friday, plunging from a multi-month high of over $82,000 to under $79,000 before it found some support.<\/p>\n

Red dominates the larger-cap alts\u2019 charts, with XRP dropping back to $1.40, ETH losing the $2,500 level, and XMR plunging by over 5%. BNB stands in the opposite corner with a 4.5% surge.<\/p>\n

BTC Halted at $82K<\/h2>\n

The primary cryptocurrency faced a similar fate last Friday when it jumped to $81,500 only to be rejected and driven south to under $77,000 after the hawkish speech by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole. However, it rebounded during the weekend and even tapped $79,000 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The resumed military actions in the Middle East brought another leg down on Monday morning, with BTC slipping<\/a> to $77,000 again. The bulls managed to defend that level again, and the cryptocurrency remained stuck between that lower boundary and the upper one at $79,000 for a few days.<\/p>\n

The breakout began on Thursday when the asset surged past the latter level and kept climbing on Friday morning. The peak came at $82,400, which became BTC\u2019s highest price tag in three and a half months. Although it was stopped<\/a> there, it remained above $81,000 before the aforementioned jobs report went live and plunged<\/a> immediately after it made the headlines to just under $79,000.<\/p>\n

It has rebounded to $79,600 since then, with its market cap standing close to $1.6 trillion on CMC. Its dominance over the alts has retreated slightly to 59.45%.<\/p>\n

PONS Keeps Rocking<\/h2>\n

Binance Coin is up by 4.5%, being the biggest gainer among the larger caps, and now sits at $750. NEAR has gained 11% and is above $2.25. DOT, TAO, and LTC are also well in the green.<\/p>\n

In contrast, ETH is down by 2.5% to $2,450, XRP has slipped by almost 3% to $1.40, and XMR is down by 5% to $525. RAIN, HYPE, and ADA are also in the red.<\/p>\n
