Bitcoins rejection at $116,800 yesterday drove the asset south by over two grand, but it has managed to recover most of the losses.

Most larger-cap alts experienced even more substantial declines yesterday, but have turned green on a daily scale.

BTC Eyes $116K Again

The primary cryptocurrency plunged hard at the beginning of the previous business week, dropping below $111,000. However, the asset reacted well and defended that level. Moreover, it initiated a notable leg up in the following week that saw it jump past $116,000 by Friday.

Bitcoin tried to break out even further to the north during the weekend and on Monday morning. Nevertheless, the bears returned when BTC was close to $117,000 at the beginning of the current business week and pushed it south almost immediately.

As a result, the cryptocurrency dropped by nearly two-and-a-half grand to $114,400 (on Bitstamp). It bounced off to challenge $116,000 once again earlier today, but couldnt break past that level. As of now, the asset trades at around $115,500 with more volatility expected in the following days due to the highly anticipated FOMC meeting.
