It cooled off on Saturday and slipped to $102,000, but that was just the start of a more severe correction.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday morning turned red after US President Donald Trump imposed taxes on Canada, Mexico, and China, and the subsequent retaliation didn\u2019t take long. BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/crypto-markets-shed-150b-as-trumps-trade-war-hits-china-canada-mexico-weekend-watch\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">slumped<\/a> from $102,000 to $97,000 but maintained within those levels for most of the day.<\/p>\n<p>However, the bears took complete control of the market on Monday morning, and they pushed BTC south hard. Within a few hours, the cryptocurrency plunged by six more grand and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/crypto-markets-melt-down-in-400b-selloff-on-trumps-trade-tariffs\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">dumped<\/a> to under $92,000, thus losing $10,000 since Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<p>It bounced off after that low and now sits above $95,000. Still, its market cap has plunged to under $1.9 trillion. However, its dominance over the alts has gone up to almost 59% on CoinGecko, which is a nearly 3% increase in a day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_381607\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-381607\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/BTCUSD-5.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-381607\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/BTCUSD-5.png\" alt=\"BTCUSD.
