Litecoin Takes the Spotlight While Bitcoin Defends $95K (Market Watch)
Feb 10, 2025 2:17 AM

Bitcoins price slipped below $95,000 for the first time in about a week, but the bulls managed to defend that level, and the asset jumped to as high as $98,000 a few hours later.

Most altcoins have had mixed performances over the past day, with BNB retracing hard while SUI is heading north. Litecoin has stolen the show.

BTC Defends $95K Slip

Last Monday morning was an all-out massacre in the cryptocurrency space following US President Trumps tariffs against three countries. BTC, which had already dumped from $106,000 to under $100,000 during the weekend, slumped within hours to just over $91,000 to mark a multi-week low.

The cryptocurrency bounced off hard, which was somewhat surprising, the skyrocketed to over $102,000 later that day, thus making another ten-grand move within hours. However, it failed to remain in the six-digit price territory and retraced to $96,000 almost immediately.

Another attempt to overcome that $100,000 mark was halted on Friday, and BTC was pushed south to a familiar ground $96,000. The weekend was calmer, but bitcoin dropped once again on Monday morning. This time, though, its losses were stopped at $95,000, and BTC even jumped to $98,000 but couldnt breach it.
