Bitcoin experienced minor volatility over the past 24 hours as the US and Iran exchanged new attacks, with the asset struggling to remain above $64,000. Most larger-cap altcoins remained sideways, while ZEC gained 5% to $525 and DEXE surged over 17% to $43. Ethereum continues fighting the $1,800 resistance level. The total crypto market cap sits near $2.260 trillion after a minor daily retreat.
Bitcoin’s price saw minor volatility over the past 24 hours as the US and Iran exchanged a new wave of attacks, and the asset now struggles to remain above $64,000. Earlier this week, bitcoin rebounded sharply after Michael Saylor’s Strategy announced its biggest BTC sale to date, jumping to $64,600 before being rejected again.
The bulls intervened again after the US and Iran broke the ceasefire with the latest attacks, helping the cryptocurrency recover. Bitcoin pumped to $64,700 yesterday but dipped to $63,600 and now trades near $64,000, with more volatility likely when legacy financial markets open.
Most larger-cap alts have remained sideways over the past day. Ethereum continues its fight with the $1,800 resistance, described by analysts as critical. XRP, SOL, DOGE, XLM, ADA, and BNB are slightly in the red daily, while TRX, HYPE, and XMR have posted insignificant increases.
ZEC added 5% of value to trade at $525, and RAIN is up 3% to nearly $0.015. UNI tapped $3.65 after a similar increase. DEXE has stolen the show from larger-cap alts, rising over 17% to $43. APX and HASH are other double-digit gainers, while BEAT plummeted 20% after yesterday’s rise. Bitcoin’s market cap remains at $1.280 trillion, with its dominance over altcoins at 56.8%.
