After a calm weekend in which BTC traded mostly sideways around $117,500, the asset dipped hard on Monday morning to an 11-day low of $115,000.

The altcoins have followed suit as the market braces for more volatility, as there will be another meeting regarding a potential peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.

BTC Slips to $115K

Last week began a lot better than the current one as the bulls pushed bitcoin from $118,000 to over $122,000 on Monday. Although the asset retraced on Tuesday, it picked up the pace once again on Wednesday and especially Thursday morning when it shot up to a new all-time high of over $124,500.

That price pump, albeit impressive on its own, was short-lived as BTC quickly dumped to $121,000 and then $118,000 as the US PPI data for July came hotter than expected. The next few days were somewhat sluggish for bitcoins price actions, even though Trump met with Putin to discuss a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.

Even the failure to strike a deal couldnt shake BTC as the asset spent the weekend trading sideways in a tight range between $117,000 and $118,000. On Monday morning, though, the cryptocurrency headed straight south ahead of todays meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy and dumped to an 11-day low of $115,000.
