Bitcoin\u2019s latest rejection at $84,000 resulted in another major leg down on Thursday morning, with the asset plummeting to a fresh monthly low of $80,200.<\/p>\n

This substantial correction didn\u2019t spare the altcoins as well, with many plummeting by over 5% from top to bottom. The total crypto market cap dumped by over $100 billion at one point.<\/p>\n

BTC Crashed Toward $80K<\/h2>\n

It was precisely a week ago \u2014 last Thursday \u2014 when the primary cryptocurrency was sliding hard and slumped to a then-multi-week low of $80,400. The bulls finally intervened after this major $6,500 decline in just days and helped the asset recover some ground to $83,000 over the weekend.<\/p>\n

They even pushed it to $84,000 at the start of the business week, but that was short-lived, and BTC tumbled<\/a> below $81,000 on Tuesday morning as South Korea\u2019s KOSPI plummeted. Nevertheless, bitcoin rebounded again and went into the Wednesday CPI announcement trading close to $84,000.<\/p>\n

As inflation in September turned out to be slightly higher than expected<\/a>, the cryptocurrency slipped again toward $82,000. It remained there for a while, but the growing tension in the Asian markets pushed it further south<\/a>, and it bottomed, at least for now, at $80,200 earlier today.<\/p>\n

Although it has recovered around a grand since then, it\u2019s still 2.4% down on a 24-hour scale. Its market cap has slumped to $1.630 trillion on CMC, while its dominance over the alts has climbed above 60%.<\/p>\n

All Aboard the Red Train<\/h2>\n

ETH led in terms of daily liquidations as it plunged<\/a> the hardest from the top alts, going to a two-month low of $2,315 before it rebounded slightly to $2,370. Yet, it\u2019s still 5% down on the day. XRP, SOL, BNB, and ADA are also down by 2%-4%, while DOGE and LINK have plummeted by 5% and 6%, respectively.<\/p>\n

ZEC has nosedived by 10.5% as of press time, dropping to $1,100. NEAR (-7.5%), RAIN (-11.5%), BTW (-18.5%), TAO (-6%), and QNT (-6%) are also well in the red. PUMP, CC, RAY, ENA, LIT, and STX have all marked double-digit losses. In contrast, STRK has pumped by 10% to $0.087.<\/p>\n

Overall, though, the crypto market cap has shed around $100 billion as of now daily and it\u2019s down to $2.710 trillion on CMC.<\/p>\n
