After the explosive start to the business week, in which BTC gained $7,000 in 12 hours or so, the asset was primed for a correction, which began yesterday evening and culminated today with a price drop to under $84,000.<\/p>\n

The altcoins have followed suit as they usually do, with ETH slumping below $2,700 and Ripple\u2019s XRP plunging by more than 7% to under $1.50. LTC is among the few exceptions today.<\/p>\n

BTC Dips Below $84K<\/h2>\n

After the seemingly negative week in terms of macro developments, in which the CLARITY Act was voted down and the Fed hiked rates in the US, BTC had dropped to $75,000 last Wednesday, and the overall sentiment had flipped. However, the asset ended the week on a strong note, surging past $80,000 on Friday to the surprise of many.<\/p>\n

It climbed to $82,000 on Saturday, where it was stopped, and slipped to $80,300 after the new escalations on the two major war fronts. Bitcoin couldn\u2019t be contained on Monday, though. In the span of just 12 hours or so, the asset blasted<\/a> through a few major resistance levels and skyrocketed<\/a> to an eight-month peak of over $87,000.<\/p>\n

It pulled back to $85,000 on Tuesday but went on the offensive again on Wednesday morning and topped $87,000 for the second time in 48 hours. However, another rejection followed that drove it south to under $84,000, where it currently struggles while analysts debate<\/a> whether this is just a healthy correction or there\u2019s more to the story.<\/p>\n

For now, its market cap has dropped to $1.680 trillion on CMC, while its dominance over the alts stands flat at 59%.<\/p>\n

Alts See Red<\/h2>\n

Ripple\u2019s native token is among the poorest performers in the past 24 hours. The asset flew to over $1.60 just yesterday, but the subsequent rejection has pushed it south hard, and it now struggles below $1.50. Other major losers include DOGE, ADA, XLM, BCH, UNI, CRO, ZEC, NEAR, and RAIN.<\/p>\n

ETH, BNB, SOL, TRX, HYPE, and XMR are also in the red, albeit in a less painful manner. In contrast, LTC has rocketed by almost 8% to $68. BTC and MORPHO are also slightly in the green among the larger-cap alts.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has shed nearly 3% daily and it\u2019s down to $2.850 trillion on CMC.<\/p>\n
