Bitcoin (BTC) Price Unstable at $67K, Altcoins Turn Red (Market Watch)
May 20, 2024 1:40 AM

Bitcoins price dropped below $67,000 on a few occasions in the past 24 hours but has reacted well to each correction and now sits at that line once again.

The altcoins are slightly in the red on a daily scale, with TON, ADA, and SHIB retracing by around 3%.

BTC Goes Down and Up

It was less than a week ago last Tuesday when the primary cryptocurrencys price had declined to just over $61,000 amid some Coinbase issues. However, the asset bounced off almost immediately and started a notable rally on Wednesday after the US CPI numbers were announced.

In a matter of hours, BTC jumped by several grand and exceeded $66,000. It corrected on Thursday to just under $65,000 but reversed its trajectory once again by the end of the week.

This culminated in a couple of price pumps above $67,500, the latest of which came on Sunday. However, the bears intercepted the move and pushed BTC down to just under $66,000. A bit more volatility followed with another brief decline, but bitcoin currently stands close to $67,000 once again, being down less than 0.5% in a day.

Alts See Red

Most altcoins have mimicked BTCs performance in the past 24 hours, posting minor losses. ETH is close to breaking below $3,100 after a 0.4% daily decline as anticipation for the SECs decision on Ethereum ETFs grows. Binance Coin has decreased by a similar percentage to $576.

More losses from the larger-cap alts come from XRP, DOGE, AVA, DOT, TRX, and BCH, while TON, SHIB, and ADA are down by 2.5-3%.

In contrast, Solanas native token has jumped by 2.5% and sits close to $180. WIF, PEPE, NEAR, and GRT are also slightly in the green.

The total crypto market cap has shed some value since yesterday and is just under $2.550 trillion on CG now.
