These Altcoins Bleed Out as Bitcoin (BTC) Loses $96K Level (Market Watch)
Feb 24, 2025 2:20 AM

Bitcoins price actions continue with underwhelming dominance as the asset fell below $96,000 after maintaining that level during the weekend.

The altcoins have it worse, though, with massive daily price declines from the likes of SOL, DOGE, ADA, LINK, AVAX, and more.

BTC Below $96K

After the calmness felt during the previous weekend, BTC started that business week with a few consecutive price drops that saw it dump to a multi-week low of under $93,500. However, the bulls were quick to intercept the move and didnt allow another decline.

In fact, BTC recovered some ground by Wednesday and stood at around $96,000 once again. The asset went on the offensive on Thursday and Friday, especially after this positive news from Coinbases CEO, and tapped $99,500 for the first time in about two weeks.

At this point, though, the situation changed once again after Bybit, one of the largest exchanges by volume, was hit with a $1.4 billion hack. BTC reacted immediately with a price drop of over four grand in hours to $95,000.
