Bitcoins continuous price slump finally came to a halt after the asset plunged to $78,000, and it has managed to recover about seven grand since then.

The altcoins are also well in the green today, with substantial gains from almost all of them.

BTC Rebounds $7K

It was a violent week, to say the least, for bitcoin and the entire crypto market. The primary digital asset challenged $100,000 the previous Friday but was quickly rejected after the hack against Bybit. The weekend was calmer, but the business week turned sour once again.

By Tuesday, bitcoin had lost over ten grand since the weekend and more than $13,000 since Friday in a price slump to $86,000. After a minor dead-cat bounce to $89,000, the bears returned with another leg down that drove BTC to $82,000 on Thursday.

The most painful decline came on Friday morning as the cryptocurrency plunged below $80,000 and all the way down to $78,200 (on Bitstamp), which became the newest three-month low and made February 2025 the worst in over a decade.
